Does it really matter whether they say mom, mum or mam? I would have thought the more noteworthy issue is that they are writing a book ...
I work in fashion sustainability and the Good on You app gives a skewed narrative - they rank brands with more publicly available information higher than brands that don’t. Just because you’re transparent (i.e., list your factories on your website, publish your supplier manual and other policies, etc.) doesn’t mean you’re sustainable. At the end of the day, H&M is fast fashion and fast fashion runs in complete opposition to real responsible fashion. Their entire business model is, at it’s core, unsustainable. You can’t pay anyone a fair wage with a £10 t-shirt. It’s impossible. M&S does a lot behind the scenes, and doesn’t really talk publicly about the work they’re doing (I know someone who works in the sustainability team there), and it’s the same with the brand I work for. We put more effort into making real changes behind the scenes than talking publicly about them at the risk of being seen as greenwashing or ethicswashing. H&M announcing all of their initiatives and conscious collections is a distraction to the fact that their business model is ruining the planet and livelihoods of people around the world.Actually if you look up an app called “Good on you” which rates brands depending on their performance, H&M has a better rating than Asos, Topshop or Zara! It also has the same rating as Arket and &Other Stories - not surprising seeing as they are one company.
the best rated high street brands in that app are Uniqlo and Marks&Spencer whichwas really interesting. I don’t see any influencers doing ads for M&S, nor have I heard before that they are quite a good brand in regards to the environment, considering how big they are.
I had it on in the background while I was working, I kept having to stop myself from zoning out.has anyone listened to their podcast?
This is the kind of behaviour I hear being talked about in a crime podcast. It’s worrying.I know what to expect and yet.... I am still completely freaked out by this. The first one is Lizzy’s.
The fact that they are soon going to turn into the major polluter in the UK and many other countries?Ffs what’s wrong with the bog standard paper masks!!
