EDUN is a socially conscious fashion company launched in 2005 by Ali Hewson, Bono, and CFDA award-winner Rogan Gregory. EDUN’s mission is to create beautiful clothing while fostering sustainable employment in developing areas of the world.
EDUN was founded as a for-profit business on the premise of trade, not aid, as a means of building sustainable communities. While EDUN’s primary focus is trade, they also work towards using more organic materials in their collections. Organic cotton is not only a responsible environmental solution, but also provides healthier working conditions for farmers and garment workers.
Ethics:
Eco-friendly EDUN uses organic cottons.
Socially Conscious EDUN acts as a voice encouraging the fashion community to do business in developing countries where trade can do more than international assistance. EDUN is also a major supporter of the ONE campaign to end poverty.
