Speak Volumes

Speak Volumes is a call for transparency & accountability on the one datapoint that impacts everyone along the value chain – production volumes. If we are going to clean up fashion’s waste crisis, develop data-driven policies and transition from a linear to a circular economy, we need to know how many garments are produced every year, but this data is currently unavailable.

The Or Foundation needs your help to call on brands – big and small, fast and slow, old and new – to Speak Volumes by publishing their 2022 production volumes before Black Friday 2023. Want to join?

(1) Sign the petition & Call on your 3 favorite brands to Speak Volumes.*

(2) We will send a letter to the brands you selected on your behalf.

(3) As we approach Black Friday 2023 we will share updates on which of Your Favorite Brands #SpeakVolumes.

(4) Share this form with your Friends & Follow us on Instagram & Youtube. Get in touch at info@theor.org to get further involved with this campaign.

*The 20 brands listed were selected because they are 1) frequently found in the waste stream in Ghana or 2) prominent in France, the only country with an active EPR program for Textiles.
