why we exist
Our purpose
Encouraging and facilitating Responsibility, and moving toward a more equitable, ethical, positive and sustainable future for the fashion and beauty industries - and the world at large – is our key purpose. It inspired not just our name, but Toward’s entire reason for being.
Contribution
Our promise
We promise to ensure that all products sold on this platform are produced in a responsible manner. What does that really mean? We insist that our partner brands guarantee fair working conditions throughout the supply chain, with respect for workers’ human and labour rights, the ethical treatment and transportation of animals, and a clear, demonstrable commitment to minimising any impact on the environment caused by their operations.Â
how we evaluate
Our framework
Toward’s responsibility framework is the result of an extensive research project into the challenges, opportunities and existing approaches to social and environmental responsibility within the luxury fashion and beauty industries. Focusing on 9 key areas of responsibility – transparency, emissions, materials, waste & chemicals, workers’ rights, water management, animal welfare, biodiversity & forestry and ethos – facing the world today, it is designed to help brands make progress in reaching (and even exceeding) the industry-wide goals set by scientists and responsibility specialists.
maintaining trust
OUR ACCOUNTABILITY
Every label stocked on Toward has completed our thorough investigation process, delving into all areas of the supply chain, service and marketing to determine that the current performance meets our core requirements and identify areas for progress. In line with our focus on and commitment to actionable transparency, these findings, and details of Toward’s key metrics and standards, are all documented and available to read on the site.
A Final NOTE
When you view our brand responsibility pages, you may notice a couple missing. Don't worry, we have evaluated all of them. As a small team, we're working very hard to summarize all the information we've gathered. We will be adding new briefs daily.
