All Things Considered” is a community-driven platform launched with the vision of empowering consumers to make informed and ethical purchasing decisions. The website aims to gather information from various brand websites, bringing together data on ethics and sustainability practices into a single, easily accessible location. By centralizing this information, the platform enables consumers to compare and consider brands based on their commitment to positive change, ethics, and sustainability.

The fashion industry is one of the major polluting industries globally, producing 10% of all humanity’s carbon emissions and the second-largest consumer of the world’s water supply. As consumers worldwide buy clothes, the growing market for cheap items and new styles is taking a toll on the environment.

Without accessible information from credible resources, it would be difficult for consumers to figure out who is doing what in the fashion industry regarding sustainability and ethics.

That is why founders John Holt and Andréa van der Meel joined forces to spread awareness by creating a global platform to help the considered consumer lead the change.

“A really great process throughout, and a really holistic approach to building our business”

Andréa van der Meel, Co-Founder at All Things Considered
