Veja: Stylish, Practical eco trainers

Veja's solidarity chain starts with the Organic Cotton that comes from a cooperative in the Nordeste area of Brazil, one of the poorest regions of the country, all the cotton and food crop are grown with out manure or pesticides and GMO's are totally excluded. Two hundred families live from the growing of environmentally friendly cotton. Manufacturing, is done in the South of Brazil using cooperatives that respect workers dignity. Logistics are taken care of by Atelier Sans Frontiere's, a social insertion NGO in France.

Veja shows that it is possible to produce Stylish, practical and eco trainers without having to compromise high ethical standards, believing that the future of fair trade is in it's products.

Green UK believes that it is preferable for fashion to be ethical, organic and environmentally sound as well as both fashionable and very well made. In a way that gives rather than takes from the population and the earth; we require our suppliers to maintain the dignity of the people responsible for manufacturing our clothes, to pay fairly and operate in good conditions. You will find that some of our brands trade fairly with the producers whilst others have a focus on the environmental costs of growing and producing the fibres and fabric necessary for manufacture. Some brands do achieve both these objectives and many are aspiring to. We offer these pioneering brands to our customers from those suppliers which are tackling directly on one or more of the ethical issues involved in eco-friendly fashion production.
