Finalists nominated in Fair Fashion Awards 2024

The finalists in the Fair Fashion Awards 2024 have been confirmed. Three companies have been nominated in each of the “up-and-coming” (revenue of up to 10 million Swiss francs) and “established” (revenue of over 10 million francs) categories. The two winners will be announced and will receive their awards on October 29 at the Zukunftsforum – Nachhaltige Textilien (forum for the future of sustainable textiles).

Each will win prize money of 20,000 francs and advisory services worth 5,000 francs. The jury chooses companies, organizations or projects that are based in Switzerland and make an innovative, sustainable contribution to a socially and environmentally responsible textile industry. The price is awarded by Swiss Fair Trade, the umbrella association of fair trade organizations in Switzerland, and the competition is facilitated by Stiftung Amphora (the Amphora foundation), with Fairtrade Max Havelaar and Fashion Revolution Schweiz as partners.

Jungle Folk, Muntagnard and We are ZRCL have been nominated in the “up-and-coming” category. Zurich-based Jungle Folk works with small-scale producers to make timeless clothing from sustainable materials. Muntagnard, located in Chur in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, boosts the circular economy with sustainable innovations. We are ZRCL, from the canton of Schwyz, produces streetwear in a transparent, fair, organic and environmentally friendly process from farming to sale.

The finalists in the “established” category are FTC Art of Cashmere World, my-trace by Remei and Naturaline from Coop. Zug-based FTC specializes in premium knitwear and has ownership of its entire manufacturing process. The my-trace system developed by Rotkreuz company Remei applies a technological solution to the goal of a transparent supply chain, enabling organic cotton to be traced. For around 30 years, the Naturaline brand owned by the Coop in Basel has been associated with textiles made from environmentally and socially responsible organic natural fibers. ce/mm
