Fashion Business Sustainability Guide: Hey FTC! We Want Updated Green Guides! | Mastermind
In our next installment of our Fashion Business Sustainability Guide, we’re learning about the “Green Guides” and why we want the Federal Trade Commission to update them to include sustainability and organic or natural claims. Government affairs consultant and founder of Politically in Fashion, Hilary Jochmans and Corey Page Spencer, co-founder of the transparent and traceable fashion-denim brand AMENDI, are leading the charge to ask the FTC to update these guides for the first time since 2012!
