If you live in Switzerland, you might be wondering which clothing brands are performing well on the biggest sustainability issues for people, the planet, and animals. Here, we’ve rounded up the brands we rated highest from the region, including Carpasus, Nikin, Freitag, and more.

Swiss brands changing the industry

We get it. Shopping more sustainably can be like wading through murky waters. “How do I know that what a brand claims is true? Is my scepticism detecting a clear sign of greenwashing or just a product of years of disillusionment with the fashion industry?” While it may be a mix of both, that’s where we come in—ready to probe, prod, and assess the public evidence about brands’ actions. Along the journey, we hope to highlight some brands that are doing genuinely working to make the fashion industry a more ethical place, and reduce its effects on the creatures that walk the planet with us.

What makes a better brand?

Simply put, a more sustainable brand makes sure is taking good actions on the most important (or, material) sustainability issues facing the fashion industry today.

Good On You rates brands on the public evidence about their performance on key sustainability issues across three pillars: people, planet, and animals.

Among the many things we look at (there are 100 key issues), is evidence that a brand’s workers are treated fairly across the supply chain, including policies and practices on child labour, forced labour, worker safety, the right to join a union, and payment of a living wage. We also look at resource and energy management, whether a brand is actively reducing its carbon emissions, managing its impact on our waterways, and using and disposing of chemicals safely.

Finally, we analyse the use of animal products like wool, leather, fur, angora, down feather, shearling, karakul, and exotic animal skin and hair. Ideally, the brand is 100% vegan.

We give each brand an overall rating, which you’ll see throughout this list, but you can find out more about a brand’s rating on our directory.
