At the core of Fashionphile's business model is a commitment to empower sustainable luxury through re-commerce. By extending the life cycle of pre-loved fashion items, Fashionphile aims to reduce its environmental footprint, encourage responsible consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable future. 

With a focus on accessibility and circularity, Fashionphile strives to make luxury fashion more accessible and diverse while positively impacting the planet, people, and products.

As a Certified B Corp, Fashionphile is part of a global community of businesses that use their power to create positive impact. B Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. 

Fashionphile's commitment to transparency extends to all aspects of its business, from employee benefits to community engagement. Fashionphile aims to build a positive company culture that promotes equity, inclusion, and belonging.

One of the key ways Fashionphile contributes to sustainability is by encouraging the purchase of pre-loved luxury items. The production of new fashion items, particularly leather goods, has a significant environmental impact. Leather production emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and requires large amounts of water. 

Additionally, the machinery used in gold extraction burns a significant amount of gas. By choosing pre-loved luxury items, customers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and water consumption.

Fashionphile's dedication to sustainability is an ongoing effort, with a focus on improving packaging, energy and consumption efficiency, waste management, and disposal. Fashionphile will conduct complete lifecycle assessments of their operations and align their policies with B Corp standards.

Fashionphile has also installed solar panels to power its operations and closely monitors its renewable energy usage and them shipping boxes are 100% recyclable with FSC certification.
