IVALO.COM 360 Sustainability Validation leads the way for change

Finnish company and online fashion marketplace, IVALO.COM, has invested several years in developing IVALO.COM 360 Sustainability Validation tool, with its comprehensive new version released in the summer of 2023.

The validation gathers objective information on the sustainability status of fashion brands and displays the results on IVALO.COM's online platform in eight different categories. Both fashion customers and validated fashion brands can benefit from the results.

IVALO.COM 360 provides comparable data, making it easier to evaluate sustainability. This information facilitates the analysis and improvement of sustainability efforts. The significance and demand for the validation tool have surprised even IVALO.COM.

"We knew, of course, that the tool was needed, but the phone has been ringing a lot," says Outi Pyy, Sustainability Director at IVALO.COM.

"Design is no longer enough. Light sustainability claims and actions are no longer sufficient, not for consumers or legislation. The demand for sustainability is growing, and brands need help in assessing and improving it."

"The interest of SEEK Berlin, a major player in the industry, in using our validation tool is an indication of the appreciation and recognition of our work and position. It is especially significant that the demand comes from a large international community," says Matti Lamminsalo, CEO of IVALO.COM.​​

"We are excited that the years of work and dedication are being rewarded. It's fantastic that the authority and leading player in sustainable fashion is Finnish."
