In an industry where only 2% of 300 million textile workers earn a livable wage, your purchasing decisions have power. At GOEX, we believe fair trade isn't just a verification—it's a commitment to human dignity and environmental responsibility that transforms lives.
Fair trade matters because people matter. When you choose fair trade apparel, you're ensuring workers receive fair wages that support not just themselves but their families and communities. In Haiti, where our production facility operates, each GOEX employee supports an average of six family members with their fair wages. This creates a ripple effect of positive change, allowing families to stay together, communities to strengthen, and individuals to build sustainable futures without dependency.
Beyond human impact, fair trade addresses our planet's urgent needs. The conventional textile industry generates 10% of global carbon emissions and 35% of microplastic pollution. By choosing GOEX, you're supporting production that drastically reduces environmental harm.
Fair trade also means transparency and accountability. As verified members of the Fair Trade Federation, B Corp, the Fair Labor Association, and the Social Enterprise Alliance, we hold ourselves to rigorous standards in every aspect of our operation—from sourcing OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified fabrics to ensuring all employees receive benefits that support health and future planning.
When you choose fair trade, you reject the exploitation that has become normalized in fast fashion. You stand for a system where trade is a force for positive change, where partnerships are based on respect and solidarity, and where sustainability isn't just marketing—it's fundamental to the business model.
Your clothing choices have consequences that extend far beyond your closet. By supporting fair trade, you become part of a movement creating a more equitable world—one ethically-made t-shirt at a time.
