SDG Decoded: SDG #12 – Responsible Consumption & Production
As we found with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #6 in the first installment of SDG Decoded, SDG #12 – Responsible Consumption & Production – is among the most crucial priorities within the denim community. Determined to undo decades of harmful production, today’s designers and makers are creating with a conscience, mindful of both the small and large impacts their work can have on the planet and the people within it.
