About The Affiliated Organization:
The textile industry involves all of society from local to global - from
consumers to producers, MSMe, value chains, artisans, businesses, designers,
communicators, online sellers, marketing, big economic corporations, among
others. It builds dreams and profits but is also responsible for modern slavery
and the second most polluting industry in the world. For this reason, it’s one
of the most impactful spaces to work within to transform the contemporary
world”. Adriana Marina, Ashoka Fellow and founder of Hecho por Nosotros (Made
By Us), and social enterprise Animaná.
Hecho x Nosotros is an NGO with consultative status to the United Nations and
the World Trade Organization. We work to promote sustainability in the world,
with a strong focus on research and education projects. Over the years we have
worked with more than 80 organizations, including Ashoka, Globalizer, C&A
Foundation, Ikea Entrepreneurship, Fabric of Change, UN, UNESCO, Ashoka, UNIDO,
Unece, IDB Network, European Union, as well as with local governments in
Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Mexico, and international organizations
that advocate for a sustainable and ethical world, such as UNIDO, Unece,
Ecotece (Brazil), Universal Love (France), Ethical Fashion Forum and Common
Objective (United Kingdom), as well as a network of professionals. We are a
platform that provides tools and opportunities that encourage: companies to
investigate the principles of sustainability; local value chains, history of
the raw materials, the process and impact of globalization, the role of
consumers; and that young professionals and students see their future as agents
of change. We have been working for years at the construction of a network of
resources about principles of sustainability, ethical production and
commercialisation in Latin America and beyond: Hecho por Nosotros wants to
serve as a reference and as a link between different actors (entrepreneurs,
academics, craftsmen, students, citizens, NGOs, INGOs, States, United Nations,
etc.). We aim to join together all stakeholders, with each contributing
information and analysis of the fashion industry from different perspectives.
In this way, we can begin to shift the paradigm of the fashion industry and
work together for a more sustainable world. The NGO Hecho por Nosotros works
promoting sustainability in the world of fashion and encourages different
actors to undertake sustainable and ethical practices. With a strong regional
focus, we work with local agents in the development of sustainable value chains
and promote the local natural fibers and communities. This is crucial in order
to collaborate and co-create with local agents as companies, governments, and
other NGOs. Here's your chance to work with Animana & Hecho por nosotros!
