Testimonials

Here's what businesses have said about the accreditation process

“The accreditation reinforces trust with both existing and prospective clients, clearly demonstrating that our garments are produced ethically, responsibly, and locally.”
Jonothon Ray , Dura-Wear Industries
“It is most important to us that we are doing the right thing by every person we work with – from our customers, staff and supply chain. Ethical Clothing Australia provides that assurance for us, that we are on the right track.”
Mellissa Pashen , GAME Clothing
“The accreditation provides confidence to our customers. It ensures our supply chain and manufacturing processes have been independently verified: our workers are paid fairly and work in safe conditions.”
Melissa Gibson , Buckle
“Accreditation provides an independent, recognised framework that gives customers confidence, particularly when ethical sourcing is a procurement requirement.”
John Williamson , Williamson International
“Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation means a great deal to me, both personally and professionally. It reflects the way I've always believed manufacturing should be done: fairly, transparently, and with genuine respect for the people behind the work.”
Cesar Tulande , Catuor
“I have always been an advocate for slow, sustainable and ethical fashion. Fair wages and working conditions for everyone in the textile supply chain should be a given, but unfortunately it isn't always the reality.”
Janine Middlemost , Middlemost
“Accreditation with Ethical Clothing Australia anchors our promise in real standards. It signals to makers, wearers and the world that these garments are made with respect, transparency and care.”
Leuca Jane Ziemons , Melaleuca Rise
“I spoke with some of the team from Ethical Clothing Australia after the talk and hearing about the audit process made everything seem much less daunting.”
Silika Baselala , Ebony Bolts
