T-shirts are the ultimate wardrobe staple. This versatile and layerable basic has a place in every wardrobe, but if you’re looking for more sustainable tees, where do you even start? 

The best basic

If we had to crown a single item of clothing as the best basic, it would be the versatile and ubiquitous t-shirt. Whether paired with jeans or worn under a jumpsuit or slip dress, t-shirts will see you through all outfits, seasons and styles. They make a great starting point for both giving your basics an ethical overhaul and for curating a capsule wardrobe.

What makes a t-shirt more sustainable and ethical?

Most of us will throw our t-shirt on in the morning without a thought about its origins. But as conscious consumers, we need to ask questions like: who made my tee? Were they paid a living wage? And is this item made from lower-impact fabric?

With that in mind, we’ve scoured the planet for more sustainable and ethical t-shirts and rounded up our top brands that meet our rating criteria to be classified as “Good” or “Great” overall.

It’s a long list, so we’ve organised it by country first. Don’t forget you can also search for brands in any category on the Good On You brand directory, where we’ve rated thousands of fashion brands. Let’s go.

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.
