Adili is the Swahili word for 'ethical and just'. As a company Adili believes that it is possible for fashion to be both stylish and made in an ethical and just way; in a way that gives rather than takes from people and the planet; in a way that upholds the dignity of those along the supply chain.
There are organisations, initiatives and companies showing that trade can be done differently, that working in fashion can have dignity, can respect the world around us and can be a way for individuals and communities to trade their way out of poverty, to save fast-disappearing skills, to gain new ones and to have the resources to educate their children... Some brands trade fairly and directly with producers while others have a focus on the environmental cost of growing and producing fibre and fabric. Some ethical fashion brands achieve both these objectives and many aspire to.
Adili showcases these pioneering ethical clothing brands which are tackling head on one or more of the ethical issues involved in fashion production.
It is a challenge. Growing, spinning, weaving, dyeing, stitching, embroidering, printing...a garment passes through many places and many hands before it ends up in our wardrobes. Adili has developed a framework of the ethical issues that arise in the fashion industry and the various ways these can be addressed. Each brand is evaluated against this framework before it can be considered as a supplier of ethical fashion. All of our suppliers must clearly demonstrate against defined criteria how they are ensuring their production is ethical and just.

Launched in 2001, ‘Know Before You Go’ is an ongoing travel safety campaign run by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). It encourages British nationals to be better prepared for their overseas trips with a view to avoiding common travelling traumas, risks and dangers.
The key campaign message is simple and applies to everyone - Know Before You Go – get travel insurance, research your destination including local laws and customs, visit your GP at least six weeks before travelling overseas and make copies of important travel documents. Through a series of mini-drives (link to Campaign History) we bring these, and other key messages, to specific categories of travellers which complements the FCO’s Travel Advice service.
Top Tips
* Check the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Travel Advice or call 0845 850 2829. * Get travel insurance and check that the cover is appropriate. * Check what vaccinations you need at least 6 weeks before you go and consider whether you need to take extra health precautions - Department of Health * Get a good guidebook and get to know your destination. Find out about local laws and customs. * Ensure you have a valid passport that is in good condition and the necessary visas. * Make copies of your passport (including any visa pages), insurance policy plus 24-hour emergency number, and ticket details. Leave these copies, your itinerary and contact details with family and friends. * Take enough money for your trip and some back-up funds eg travellers cheques, sterling or US dollars.Kind
