Les réponses apportées par Olistic the Label aux objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies
Les 17 objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies établissent la marche à suivre pour un avenir meilleur. Ils répondent aux enjeux mondiaux en synthétisant les défis environnementaux et sociaux. L’industrie de la mode a une corrélation directe avec cet agenda. Ces objectifs interconnectés résonnent avec notre approche holistique et nous nous engageons pour leur réalisation à chaque étape de notre production.
Objectives 1, 2 & 3: no poverty, no hunger, good health and well-being
Sustainable development requires the creation of jobs that promote equality. We pay our artisans according to the value given to their precious know-how. We create jobs in India where we support sericulture that promotes the financial independence of women. Concerned about the health of our planet and its communities, we favor natural materials from organic farming certified GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards) not using any pesticides or chemicals.
Objectives 5, 8 & 10: gender equality, decent work and economic growth, reduction in inequalities
Reducing inequalities requires the development of decent, fairly paid jobs. We are committed to creating fair jobs in India and in Europe through our partnerships with family workshops in Portugal and French manufacturers. The independence and financial autonomy of women, a preamble to gender equality, are at the heart of our actions. We support female sericulture in India and promote the artisanal know-how of women in northern Portugal in our clothing workshop.
Objectives 6, 14 & 15: clean and healthy water, aquatic life and terrestrial
The fashion industry is the cause of extensive soil and water pollution. The release of microplastics into the oceans from washing synthetic clothing is accompanied by soil degradation and excessive water consumption from cotton farming. Our response is sustainable fashion using only GOTS certified non-toxic materials and dyes to avoid polluting soils and waterways. Our organic cotton and peace silk require less water than traditional crops and respect animal lives. Our 100% natural and biodegradable fibers leave no trace on our planet.
Objective 9 & 17: industry, innovation and infrastructure, partnerships for the achievement of these objectives
Inclusive partnerships will help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We participate in UN summits and assemblies in Kenya and New York.We support UNECE Forest for fashion for the promotion of sustainable fashion that respects forests ; a commitment that resulted in the presentation of a collection at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. An activist-creator, Camille Jaillant does not hesitate to speak out, as during her intervention at the ILO (ILO) to highlight the importance of women's work in India and the need to preserve their skills. We collaborate with the NGO Zoï Environment with which we co-created the Zoï Fashion alliance to promote the circular economy and eco-responsible materials.
In accordance with the 9th principle of the United Nations agenda, we consider technological progress and innovation necessary for the achievement of the objectives sustainability. To this end, we have built partnerships combining fashion, tech and sustainability with Fashinnovation for the creation of digital parades and Ariannee for the integration of blockchain into our production.
Objective 12: Sustainable consumption and production
“Doing more and better with less” is one of the sustainable development goals. This philosophy is embodied in our production cycle as well as in our definition of fashion. We produce durable pieces with high-quality finishes in partnership with suppliers and family workshops who share our sense of excellence. Our products are offered in small quantities while respecting natural resources. ; notably through the use of ethical and sustainable peace silk.
Reducing waste and extending the textile life cycle are crucial issues for fashion. We reuse dormant stocks of fabrics and leather scraps from luxury tanneries and recycle our old collections to give a second life to textiles. Our collections slow are timeless and accompany women year after year. In order to allow our customers to buy with full awareness, we collaborate with Arianee and use blockchain technology to certify the authenticity of our garments and provide more transparency in our supply chain.
Objective 13: Fight against climate change
The fashion industry generates more greenhouse gases than shipping and international flights combined. Fashion is directly concerned by the fight against global warming. We have chosen to set up our workshops in the north of Portugal, near Paris. We do not use any synthetic materials to manufacture our collections and adopt the principles of the circular economy through upcycling, recycling and the use of compostable and biodegradable packaging. We offset the emissions due to the transport of our collections to obtain a neutral carbon footprint and favor road and rail transport.
