Fashion Cloud sustainability data criteria

Fashion Cloud remains neutral and is not the party to judge whether a retailer, brand, product or practice is sustainable or not. We aim to increase transparency in the wholesale community.

By implementing these criteria we aim to prevent information overflow.
