Change the Future of Fashion.
Our 2024 Circularity Report
We’re proud that, as we grow, we’re still reducing our emissions and our net positive impact on the environment is widening, year after year. In fact, we prevent 3 times more emissions than we generate, without offsetting. Plus, we’ve reduced our carbon intensity through cutting air transport and increasing local shipping, as well as optimizing our packaging to reduce waste.
But we don’t just want to report on what we’re doing. We want to understand what’s changing in the world where our Collective lives, breathes, and shops.
So for our 2024 Circularity Report, we conducted a first-of-its-kind consumer survey which revealed that we cannot afford fast fashion. The survey showed that fast fashion items are worn less, kept for shorter periods, and have a lower resale value than high quality, pre-loved pieces.
Leading by Example
We want to be the leading voice for circularity in fashion. As the first fashion resale platform to ban ultra fast fashion, we’re determined to push for tighter regulations for clothing producers and brands. But we can’t change the fashion industry on our own. That’s why we create long-term partnerships with like-minded brands to help offer Resale as a Service – so their clients can enjoy a circular shopping experience.
Inspiring the Community
We share inspirational educational content to help our community to buy less and buy better by investing in longer-lasting, better-quality items.
Sustainable choices should be celebrated and rewarded, and they are – with our Fashion Activist badge. It’s awarded to the members of our community who both buy and sell with us.
We're Stronger Together
The more diverse we are, the stronger we are. 67 nationalities are represented at Venus Collective, and 80% of our employees feel empowered to authentically express themselves at work.
We are committed to closing the gap. We know representation of women in tech is an industry wide problem. We’re dedicated to not only hiring women but ensuring they are represented at the highest levels of leadership. Our internal target is to reach 50% female representation in the leadership team by 2026.
We empower our team to take action. Each of our 5 employee resource groups, Women’s Empowerment, Ethnic Diversity, Accessibility and mental health,Parents and LGBTQIA+ are run by volunteers.
