Textile Environmental Labeling: It’s Official. Now, Let’s Take Action.
The textile environmental labeling decree has been approved by the European Commission — a key regulatory milestone. But for this to truly transform the sector, it needs to be visible, understandable, and concrete. That’s Clear Fashion’s mission.
📆 A Major Political Milestone
Since 2020, Clear Fashion has been actively involved in setting up this system, alongside the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
✔ Recommended by the Citizens’ Convention
✔ Included in the Climate and Resilience Law
✔ 6 years of work, backed by a rigorous public methodology
And now, the decree has been approved by Europe.
🎯 What is the environmental cost?
It’s a quantified estimate of a product’s environmental impact (water, carbon, biodiversity, etc.).
> The higher the score, the greater the impact.
> Soon, you’ll be able to compare a t-shirt to... a car trip or a chocolate bar.
The Fashion Score: a comprehensive, educational label
Our role in deployment: making the system clear and accessible
We didn’t just contribute to it.
✔ Largest contributor to the national pilot (15,000 products evaluated)
✔ The only consumer-facing score featured in government materials
✔ An active community of over 400,000 consumers
✔ A tool already used by 300+ brands, with 7 million monthly consumer views of our scores
The Fashion Score doesn’t just provide a rough estimate of impact — it analyzes production methods. It also includes:
- 👕 Social (working conditions)
- 💊 Health (toxic substances)
- 🐑 Animal welfare
It’s expressed on a scale of 0 to 100 with a simple color code — a real guide for everyone.
Clear Fashion Evaluation Principles
Overview
Tackling the key challenges of the sector! That’s why we evaluate brands and clothing according to the following themes: environment, workers, consumer health, and animal welfare.
Independence
Brands have no influence or decision-making power over how the score is calculated. The rating is the result of a calculation based on the publicly available scoring system for users.
No information = information
When we have no information on a given criterion, we consider it a potential risk and cannot award points for that criterion.
Possibility of change
We only include information about current practices, not projections or future commitments.
We scored two complete outfits to help you visualize concretely what this means
