Material Exchange is striving to make sourcing of material for fashion more sustainable through it's digital platform. They have also stated their commitment to the Earth: Designing, producing, and distributing fashion and footwear products has long negatively affected the planet. We at Material Exchange are very aware of the impacts man-made fashion systems have had on Earth and, as a global digital sourcing platform, we are working to reduce these natural- and human-resource-intensive impacts. Material Exchange is committed to leading and accelerating new, responsible sourcing and procurement methods to work toward a sustainable, just, and equitable future of the global fashion industry. We vow to continue designing and steering new sourcing processes and software solutions that protect nature’s resources, reduce virgin material extraction, minimize waste, and drive positive change to all lifeforms across the globe. We will always keep the planet and its people at the forefront of everything we do; it is why we are here. Says Andrea Kennedy, VP of Sustainability
