CRE8 Campaign
EcoDhaga is a Proud Partner for CRE8 Campaign by Fairtrade India...
Where Ethical Craft meets Consciousness
At EcoDhaga, we believe that craft has the power to create real change. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with the Centre for Social Markets’ Campaign for RE8 (CRE8) in collaboration with Fairtrade India and supported by the European Union’s SWITCH-Asia Programme. It is an initiative that promotes ethical enterprises, strengthens artisan communities, and encourages a more sustainable future for India’s creative economy. The main focus of the campaign is to make fashion sustainable, fair, circular, and youth-led.
