Hi Aerie, after digging around we discovered your extensive sustainability plan! You could be more open/transparent about your sustainability initiatives, as they are pretty impressive, yet hidden! We'd like to see your progress on these initiatives and their measured impact.

The Transparency Project Great question! We source our Oats right here in Canada, our Almonds in North America (California) and our cashews from India, Vietnam, and Brazil.

Indigenous peoples are critical to protecting the planet — and they must have greater representation and more opportunities for participation in decision-making processes at global environmental negotiations, experts say. ci-intl.org/3luicRC

How green are your leggings? Recycled polyester is not a silver bullet - it’s just taking waste from another sector #greenwashing #fossilfashion theguardian.com/fashion/2021/m…

Hi Starbucks Canada! We are interested in learning more about your #LEED Greener stores. We see your first Canadian store will be opening soon in Abbotsford, BC. When can Canadians in other provinces expect eco-conscious stores in their area?

Hi Shoppers Drug Mart, we love your advocacy for women's health, but saw no info on your sustainability efforts on your site. This was very disappointing, do you currently have any sustainability goals you are trying to reach? What are your future sustainability goals? #Shoppers

This is the problem with big brands that release "sustainable" capsule collections. You can use all the organic cotton you want, but until your supply chain is transparent, safe and fair for everyone, you're #Greenwashing.

Hi Ardene! While you have taken the time to address #sustainability initiatives on your website, the exact details of these initiatives remain blurry. You mention supply chain and GHG goals...can you offer your #conscious consumers more information regarding these goals?

Hey Nike! Regarding the UN #Sustainable Development Goal #8, we see that Nike has committed that "100% of facilities in our extended supply chain meet NIKE’s foundational labor, health, safety and environmental standards" by 2025. Could you please elaborate on these "standards"?

People talk about the North/South divide as "industrialized" vs "non-industrialized" countries. But the South is home to 85% of the world's industrial workforce. It's just that they receive almost none of the value they produce, which is appropriated instead by rich countries.

Hi Michaels Stores, when looking into the sustainability and supply chain of the yarns you carry, we were unable to find any information. Why don’t you provide any information on the supply chain of your yarn, esp. those w/ animal fibre? Shouldn't customers have access to this?

Hi Canada Post Helps, we were wondering why some of your mailing and shipping supplies were made of recycled material (boxes) but bubble mailers and others are not? What are you doing to provide sustainable products for the public and what is your commitment to sustainable action?
