Fair Trade
Ethical trade works from the top down, but the complex nature of the garment industry makes it difficult to certify that labor practices meet international standards at every stage of the supply chain - from cotton growing to sewing, finishing, and packing. The new ethical-clothing phenomenon is a complex work in progress. Ensuring the humane treatment of the world’s garment-industry workers is something that no single clothing company can guarantee overnight. At Yo baby clothing is made in a facility that pays fair and meaningful wages, not the minimum wages that dominate the industry, with socially responsible values: fair trade, ecologically responsible, recycled materials, support of impoverished craftspeople, and local production.
