Remake is a non-profit organization founded by Ayesha Barenblat that aims to make the fashion industry more transparent and sustainable through its unique brand directory website. The website, also called Remake, scores fashion brands based on how ethical and sustainable their practices are. The organization's scoring system takes into account six "impact areas," which include Transparency, Traceability, Maker Well-Being, Environmental Sustainability, Raw Materials, and Leadership.
Remake's score system is thorough and comprehensive; brands are given a score out of 100 and are even assessed in relation to the size and complexity of their supply chains. All of the brands that have been scored by the company are accessible to consumers through the Remake website, which houses an easy-to-use search engine.
"The idea behind our brand directory was to be an industry watchdog. Rather than encouraging mindless shopping, we are arming our readers with knowledge so they can make more informed choices and hold the industry more accountable," said Ayesha Barenblat in a recent interview with Fashion Magazine.
