Love - it’s powerful, inspiring and if used for good, can be used to change the world.

In the spirit of celebrating love this Valentine’s Day, we spoke to some of the wonderful couples on fair&good who are using their business to do what they love AND make a positive impact.

Find out what it’s really like to run an ethical business together and how they balance love and business.

Human trafficking is form of modern day slavery which uses force, fraud, or coercion to control victims for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or forced labour. It is one of the most pressing human rights issues of our time.

According to Walk Free Foundation’s Global Slavery Index 2016, 25 million victims are from East Asia and the Pacific.

To honour World Day Against Trafficking In Persons on July 30th, we spoke with Erica Oliver Poole from Pag-asa Collective and Myint Aung from Reca about how they are helping survivors from Southeast Asia gain independence and hope through meaningful employment. 

It can be pretty impossible to find toys that aren’t made of toxic plastic materials, made ethically and can stand the test of being flung across the hall by your two-year-old. 

So when Mandy Abel was faced with this exact problem, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She created Fairplay, an ethical toy brand to provide Kiwis with an alternative to the mass-produced, sweatshop toys that dominate the toy industry.

Fairplay not only cultivates meaningful play for your child, but is kind to people and planet too!

When Emily and her co-founder Ashleigh discovered the shocking truth about period poverty in Bangladesh, they felt compelled to take action and be part of the conversation. They launched Reemi, a social enterprise that develops self-sterilizing period underwear for every menstruator. 

100% of their profits go towards their groundbreaking research on menstrual health management in garment factories and support their product innovation for garment workers in Bangladesh. Their current solutions include a high-tech period underwear with smart technology and wash and dry bags that ensure hygiene and are culturally appropriate. 

To celebrate Fashion Revolution Week 2021, we spoke to Emily about Reemi’s research, what she’s learned from running a social enterprise and why slow and steady is better for people and planet.

When she first set foot in Cambodia, Erica Gadsby felt an immediate connection with the country and its people. A social entrepreneur who had been working with non-profit organisations her whole adult life, Erica knew she wanted to use her business expertise for social good.

In 2013, she founded ReCreate Clothing, an ethical fashion brand that produces sustainably-crafted clothing made in Cambodia. To celebrate Fashion Revolution Week 2021, we sat down with Erica to talk about how ReCreate is growing their impact on marginalised communities in Cambodia and how running a social enterprise has shaped who she is today.

After visiting India in 2006, Ana Wilkinson-Gee was filled with a deep conviction to use her skills in fashion design to empower rural women.

She started hosting sewing classes in the village Bhalupali to give local women the opportunity to make a living for themselves. Little did she know that her classes would blossom into Holi Boli, an ethical clothing brand that is lifting women in India out of poverty with their eco-friendly garments.

To mark Fashion Revolution Week 2021, we caught up with Ana to chat about how it all began, what ethical fashion means to her and where her journey will take her next. 

What if we told you that you could reduce your fashion waste and earn money doing it at the same time?
