Sustainable and vegan footwear certifications

Certifications are one of the most effective methods to confirm that products are manufactured under standards of environmental responsibility and work ethics. These certifications can be product certifications, where the compositions of organic materials are analyzed, such as the PETA-Approved Vegan certificate, or company certifications, which analyze that brands are truly ethical and sustainable in their management practices from the production phase 0 to the delivery of the product to the final customer, such as the Ethical Time certification.
