HOW WE CURATE

At Moda Verde, we thoughtfully curate apparel brands that fall under the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic responsibility. Each brand is thoroughly researched to understand the type of impact that they have on people and the planet. To understand a brand's sustainability claims, we look at aspects such as their supply chain transparency, outside certifications, official reports, and future business goals. Below we have highlighted different aspects of each pillar of sustainability. On our BRAND page, we make sure and include all the applicable sustainability aspects of the company (highlighted through our pillar icons), so that you can ensure that your values align with the brand's.
