Ethical Trading and Corporate Social Responsibility

As the store employees act as the focal point of my pop-up store, I will pay above the minimum hourly wage, which is currently 10.03€ per hour according to Statista (2018). Equally, ethical trading has been a key issue for fashion retailers within recent decades (Gowerek, 2007:77). Vetements is keen to highlight issues surrounding the over-consumption of clothing within fast fashion, however, there is no publicly available information concerning their supply chain and does not utilise consistently organic textiles. My range will be apart the Clean Clothes Campaign, an international pressure group aiming to improve the working conditions of labourers within textile supply chains (Gowerek, 2007:77).
