Honest Basics

Honest Basics is a brand that offers sustainable basics for friendly prices. The company was founded in 2017 by a group of fashion and marketing professionals who wanted to make sustainable fashion accessible to everyone.

Honest Basics is committed to reducing its environmental and social impact throughout its supply chain. The company follows the principles of circular fashion, which means designing products that last longer, use less resources, and can be recycled or reused. Honest Basics also supports fair working conditions and living wages for its suppliers and workers.

Honest Basics uses sustainable materials for its products, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, lyocell, and hemp. These materials are grown or produced without harmful chemicals, pesticides, or water waste. They are also certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), which ensures that they meet high environmental and social criteria.

Honest Basics holds itself to high standards of transparency and accountability. The company publishes its sustainability report every year, which discloses its carbon footprint, water consumption, waste generation, and social impact. Honest Basics also labels its products with a sustainability score, which shows how each product performs on different sustainability indicators, such as materials, production, transport, and packaging.

Honest Basics is not only a brand, but also a community of conscious consumers who care about the planet and the people. The company engages with its customers through its blog, newsletter, and social media channels, where it shares tips, stories, and inspiration on how to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Honest Basics also collaborates with other organizations and initiatives that promote sustainability, such as CDSB (Climate Disclosure Standards Board), SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), and IISD (International Institute for Sustainable Development).
