In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:

Good to see but it begs the question, what were they doing before?

Mountain equipment have been an approved member since 2012 and now have "Leader status", Patagonia is Fair Trade sewn (mostly since 2014) and part of the sustainable apparel coalition, Montane joined Fair Wear last year I think, even the North Face has been a part of the sustainable Apparel Coalition (via VF, their parent company) for ages. I guess it's a step in the right direction.
