The brands were approached last November, and ranked according to the transparency of their supply chain and their willingness to make credible commitments to toxic-free, deforestation-free fashion.<br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Capture-d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran-2013-02-20-%C3%A0-11.48.39.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Capture-d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran-2013-02-20-%C3%A0-11.48.39-188x300.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2013-02-20 at 11.48.39\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-58382 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 188px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 188\/300;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nLuxury brand Valentino has just pledged to exclude the use of any toxic chemicals and to adopt a &#8220;zero deforestation&#8221; sourcing policy for its products. Conversely, Chanel, Herm\u00e8s, Prada and Dolce&amp;Gabbana, for example, have refused to provide the information requested by Greenpeace or to make any commitment to improve their practices.<\/p>\n<p>Deforestation, toxic products: the environmental impact of the luxury sector<br \/>\nThe textile industry is one of the main sources of water pollution in countries such as China and Mexico; Greenpeace investigations have revealed that factories release hazardous products, including endocrine disruptors, into the environment. At the same time, tropical forests are being clear-cut to make packaging, while the Amazon rainforest is being destroyed to make pasture for cattle breeding, which provides the leather for shoes, bags and belts.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since the launch of the &#8220;Detox&#8221; campaign in 2011, 16 major brands have already committed to a &#8220;detox&#8221; cure, i.e. to exclude the use of hazardous chemicals throughout their production chain,&#8221; explains J\u00e9r\u00f4me Frignet. If high-volume brands have taken the plunge, it&#8217;s hard to understand why the luxury sector, with its very high margins on every item sold, couldn&#8217;t do the same. Valentino has just set an example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenpeace ranks and challenges haute couture brands Greenpeace yesterday published a ranking http:\/\/fr.thefashionduel.com\/ of major haute couture and luxury brands according to their environmental policies, and in particular their impact&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2008565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52709],"tags":[61886],"class_list":["post-2008563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-thefashion","tag-greenpeace"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
