SUSTAINABILITY & ETHICS

At Another Now, we partner with brands who share our desire for a better world — who care about the planet, the people who make their clothes, and the welfare of animals and wildlife.

We research every brand’s policies and methods to ensure they align with our values before partnering. Each brand has a dedicated Ethics & Sustainability page, accessible from their brand profile, where we share information under three headings: People, Planet, and Animals.

This transparency helps you shop with confidence, knowing your choices reflect your own values.

If you have any questions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you at hello@another-now.com.

People

We work with brands that uphold fair, safe, and transparent working conditions, pay a living wage, and respect workers’ rights throughout their supply chain.

At minimum, they adhere to the five principles of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration:

1. Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
   
2. Elimination of forced or compulsory labour
   
3. Abolition of child labour
   
4. Elimination of discrimination in employment and occupation
   
5. A safe and healthy working environment
   

Many brands go further — supporting initiatives that empower women or uplift their local communities.

All ethical accreditations, certifications and charitable partnerships are shown under the People section on each brand’s Ethics & Sustainability page.

Planet

We know it’s impossible to be 100 % sustainable in every area, but we partner with brands actively reducing their impact on the planet — meeting as many of the following standards as possible:

• Local manufacturing to reduce carbon emissions and support communities
  
• Circular and closed-loop systems, recycled and upcycled materials
  
• Certified eco-fabrics such as Tencel™, organic bamboo, hemp, linen, and GOTS / OEKO-TEX® cotton
  
• All cotton sold on Another Now is 100 % organic, chemical-free, certified by either BCI or The Detox Project, or deadstock/recycled fabric.
  
• Eco alternatives including silicone or plant-based vegan leather, biodegradable elastic, corozo buttons
  
• Considered use of recycled polyester (PET) and Econyl®, to divert waste from landfill
  
• Responsible footwear production using non-toxic certified PU
  
• Low-impact manufacturing, renewable energy and responsible waste management
  
• Conscious design — durable, timeless pieces crafted to last
  
• Zero-waste and slow fashion approaches, seasonless collections, reuse of offcuts and water-saving techniques
  

Full sustainability information, accreditations, and partnerships are listed under the Planet section on each brand’s page.

Animals

We believe caring for the planet means caring for animals too.

Another Now is a vegan platform — we choose to sell only non-animal based products and never sell:

• Silk (including peace silk)
  
• Leather or suede
  
• Fur, feathers, or exotic animal skins
  

At this time we also choose not to sell wool, though we may consider recycled or fully traceable, cruelty-free wool in the future as ethical alternatives develop.

While our brands are not required to be fully vegan, we only sell their vegan pieces — and we ensure their broader practices do not conflict with our values.

All animal welfare standards, certifications and partnerships are listed under the Animals section on each brand’s page.
