FASHION REVOLUTION | FASHION TRANSPARENCY INDEX 2018
HOW WERE THE 150 BRANDS SELECTED? Brands have been chosen on the basis of annual turnover of over US$500 million and represent a spread of market segments including high street, luxury, sportswear, accessories, footwear and denim from across Europe, North America, South America and Asia. We relied on publicly available financial information to select brands and retailers. Some companies are privately held and do not publish financial records, including turnover, which means we may have been unable to include them in this edition. Where brands are part of a parent company with annual turnover over US$500 million, we have selected the brand or brands that appear to make up the most significant part of their business.
We have deliberately listed brands in our report rather than the parent company because consumers will be most familiar with brand names. 98 of the brands in the 2018 report were included in last year’s report, meaning there are 52 new brands this year. We intend to expand the number of brands and retailers included in next year’s edition.
* In general, the scores for brands that are part of a parent company apply to all of the subsidiaries in the parent company, not just the brands included in this report. There are some exceptions: for example, George at ASDA and Walmart; Puma and the other Kering Group brands, Lidl UK.
