Ethical fashion brand Nisolo has launched the Sustainability Facts Label that shows the impact each product has on the planet and on the people who manufacture the product. Nisolo’s Sustainability Facts Label will be attached to each Nisolo product. Each label includes a QR code that, when scanned, links to 200 data points that show how the product scored for people and planet. The hope is that this will allow customers to better understand the impact of the products they buy. The company hopes the breadth, depth, and simplicity of the Sustainability Facts Label becomes the bare minimum for sustainability and the floor for future labels to be built upon.

Nisolo is a disruptive, socially and environmentally conscious lifestyle brand creating value for consumers and producers in the fashion space.

Its leather products and accessories include shoes, belts, bags, and bracelets which are sourced from local craftsmen. Greenwashing by fashion brands threatens progress toward sustainability in the industry. Less than five per cent of people who make clothing globally are paid a living wage.
