    Background / Context

    In 2019 Eetti ranked 23 Finnish clothing brands (in Finnish) with the Rank A Brand manual. View the full report (in Finnish) and a video of the results of the research (in Finnish)

    Information / presentation

    Emissions of the textile industry are larger than the airline and maritime traffic combined. (slides)

    The average utilization time of clothing in 2019 is one third less than in 2000. Clothes are used on average 160 times. The CO2 emissions of the textile industry would fall 44% by doubling the utilization time. (slides)

    UTZ Certified (.org) and Rainforest Alliance (.org) merged in January 2018 in response to the increasing challenges of deforestation, climate change, systemic poverty, and social inequity.
