Conservation
Rachel Comey is committed to eliminating materials sourced from endangered species habitats and ancient endangered forests including the Canadian and Russian Boreal Forests, Coastal Temperate Rainforests, and tropical forests and peatlands of Indonesia, the Amazon and West Africa. Additionally, they are in process of eliminating sourcing from companies conducting illegal logging, tree plantations established after 1994 through the conversion or simplification of natural forests, and areas being logged in contravention of First Nations/tribal/indigenous peoples’ and community rights.
Social
Rachel Comey requests that their suppliers respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the right of Indigenous People and rural communities to give or withhold their Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) before new logging rights are allocated or plantations are developed.
Natural Materials
While the fashion industry looks to shift away from using plastic to more forestry-based resources, there is potential for global forest systems to be disproportionately depleted. To mitigate this, Rachel Comey prioritizes sourcing fabric, paper and packaging that is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.
