"In 2004, the Ethletic Sneaker becomes worldwide the first sneaker on the market to be certified with the Fairtrade quality seal for organic cotton. In 2010 the German Association of Worldshops (Weltladen-Dachverband), with strict criteria and a pioneer in fair trade, adds Ethletic to its list of accredited suppliers. As an ambitious project that’s still relatively small in terms of manpower and budget, Ethletic thrives on the support we receive from our “Ethical Supporters”. Our “Fair Family” includes like-minded animal rights activists, athletes, artists, musicians and a wide range of bloggers passionately dedicated to living in accordance with the ideals of eco-fairness and veganism and promoting this lifestyle to their social media followers.
