Many of us neglect the items we wear most in our closet—basics. So if it’s about time your underwear, t-shirts, bras, socks or stockings were replaced, read through this guide to find new and improved items with more responsible credentials.

Start your more sustainable fashion journey from the bottom up

If you’re looking to make a difference through your wardrobe, why not start from the bottom up? Opting for more sustainable basics is an easy way to dip your toes into the world of clothing from brands that do right by people, the planet, and animals. Each brand below has been rated for its impact on the ethical and environmental issues you care most about. We’ve divided the brands by category, featuring underwear, bras, socks and stockings, pyjamas, and last but not least, t-shirts.

Underwear

Switching out your tired undies for more responsible alternatives is the easiest place to begin. You can start small by purchasing organic or fair trade underwear whenever items in your current collection need replacing. Since underwear is something we’ll continually need to repurchase, opting for brands that produce more sustainably makes a huge impact over time—and we promise they’re just as stylish and comfortable as your old favourites (maybe even more so).

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
