Reiss Partners with Compare Ethics to Boost Consumer Confidence in Responsible Sourcing

We’re very excited to share that global fashion retailer Reiss has announced a new partnership with us at Compare Ethics, furthering its commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.

This collaboration is a key step in Reiss’ ongoing efforts to ensure transparency and compliance in its sustainability practices.

The challenge

Reiss has long been focused on integrating sustainable practices across its business. However, verifying environmental claims, particularly in a global market with different regulations, is a challenging task. Ensuring that all green claims are accurate, compliant, and clearly communicated to customers has to be a top priority.

The solution

To tackle this, Reiss partnered with us at Compare Ethics. Our AI-driven platform is designed to evaluate and rank the quality of sustainability claims against regulatory standards. We verify between 3-14 data points for every claim, helping Reiss meet all relevant regulations while reducing the huge internal workload associated with compliance.

Implementation and impact

This partnership allows Reiss to confidently share its responsible sourcing achievements with its customers. Our platform provides valuable insights and expertise, enabling Reiss to scale its green claims effectively.

Our thorough verification process ensures that over 700 new products meet sustainability standards, giving Reiss’s customers complete confidence in the brand's green claims.

Sally-Anne Newson, Chief Customer Officer at Reiss said:

"At Reiss, we are dedicated to embodying sustainable practices in every aspect of our business. Working with Compare Ethics means we can communicate our responsible sourcing achievements to our customers with total confidence and demonstrate our brilliant progress within responsible sourcing and ESG. We are delighted to be working with the organisation to verify our green claims across 700+ new products.”

Looking ahead

As Reiss continues along its path towards a more sustainable future, our expertise at Compare Ethics will play a key role. As sustainability regulations evolve, we will ensure Reiss stays ahead of the game, setting a new standard for the industry.

Abbie Morris, our CEO, highlighted the significance of this collaboration:

"Complying with sustainability regulations is no small feat due to the time, cost, and complexity of verifying all environmental claims and the fact that requirements often vary significantly across jurisdictions. Our platform offers a way for retail businesses to quickly get the knowledge and expertise they need. We look forward to working with the in-house teams at Reiss this year as the organisation starts to scale its claims in line with the Green Claims Code.”
