without harming the environment,
animals, workers or consumers.
37% of respondents said it’s important that the
clothing they buy is produced without using harmful
chemicals for the consumer, rising to 51% among
Italian respondents. Meanwhile, one out of three
people said it’s important to buy clothing made
by workers paid a fair living wage, rising to 43%
of Brits. When it comes to buying clothes made
without harming animals, this was important for
29% of respondents, with 34% of women compared
to 24% of men. More people this year (14%) said it’s
