Depop — Fashion for a better future

Inspiring and exciting news from our portfolio company, Depop, as they announce their official ESG and sustainability framework.

Their action plan highlights the following key goals for the initiative:

• Make Depop climate neutral by the end of 2021.
• Systematic preference for circular or responsibly made Fashion for all brand collaborations from now on.
• Provide educational resources and mentorship opportunities to help entrepreneurs, creatives, or small businesses from underrepresented groups grow their businesses sustainably.

According to the Depop, “Fashion is a global language – no matter where we are, our clothes always tell a story about who we are – and like language, Fashion is constantly changing. It’s time to make this language more than it has been. To let go of what isn’t working and create something with more vibrance, more opportunities, more hope, more care–––something that reflects the way we want to value each other and our home.

The good news is that it’s already happening. Our role is to build the tools and inspiration, and to ensure we’re giving representation to the people making these changes.

Together, we’re shaping a new fashion system. One that’s kinder to people and kinder to the planet. This is Fashion for a better future.”
