Goal 1- NO Poverty

Ending Poverty and child hood poverty is important  everywhere. The fashion Industry  can create employment but the Jobs need to be decent and provide  fair wages for the employees in all stages of the supply chain. It must provide a decent living wage not just a minimal wage.

We know there is no magic formula for achieving sustainability, but we sure enjoy coming up with new, innovative ways of working to have a positive impact on people by providing fair-priced grocery shops in our partner factories, to recycling fabric waste and co-funding electric bikes for the workers, we’re constantly developing new ideas to make a difference.

Goal 3- Good Health & Wellbeing

Being  one with nature and enjoying our outdoor playground is very important. We want to encourage escapism, positive mental and physical well-being by getting outdoors. 

Goal 4- Quality Education

Promotion of education of children in developing countries, end child slavery and empower them to have more choices through education. This  can only be done by reducing fast fashion and being responsible for our actions . 
Educating consumers about good sustainable practice is very important through awareness of our brand and what we stand for. 

Goal 13- Climate Action

Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning. We all need to start in our own homes  by reducing plastics, reducing chemical pesticides,  & reducing CO2.

The global apparel and footwear industries account for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions due to fast fashion almost as much as the total carbon impact of the EU.

We need to buy less clothing but instead more  sustainable good quality clothing and footwear that will last longer. Trá Apparel has invested in good quality garments that wash & wear well and are planned to be here for a while.
