Luxembourg: Global Fashion Group (GFG), the leading online fashion & lifestyle destination in growth markets, announces its latest sustainable shopping edit: Earth Edit in Southeast Asia.

- Sustainable Materials: Products made of raw materials with a lower environmental impact than conventional alternatives
- Fair Production: Products manufactured in a location holding a certificate associated with decent working conditions
- Eco-Production: Products manufactured through a process with a lower environmental impact and using less harmful chemicals
- Animal Friendly: Products made using non-animal alternative materials, or methods associated with good animal welfare
- Community Engagement: Products made by brands associated with community benefits or committed to give back to the community through donations
- Pre-Loved: Second hand luxury & premium products that are sold by specialised third party sellers on ZALORA
GFG launched its first sustainable shopping edit in Australia in early 2019. By the end of 2021, a sustainable shopping edit will be available in every GFG region.
Jaana Quaintance-Jones, Chief Sustainability Officer, GFG said: “We’re very proud to introduce this new way for customers to shop by their sustainability values in yet another one of GFG’s markets. Now live across our Asia Pacific region, this is part of our ongoing commitment to launching sustainable shopping edits across 100% of GFG’s operating regions for all of our over 14 million Active Customers. GFG is in a very unique position to help educate a huge part of the world’s population on what shopping sustainably means, and driving a more holistic and comprehensive approach to sustainability across the Group is a priority for us.”
The introduction of GFG’s sustainable shopping edit in Southeast Asia follows the launch of a partnership with a leading global community-driven platform for desirable pre-owned fashion, and the roll out of 100% recyclable delivery satchels in Australia and New Zealand. These efforts are part of GFG’s Sustainability Strategy and 2022 commitments, which can be read in full detail at www.global-fashion-group.com/sustainability .
