MADE-BY are a European Not-For-Profit organisation dedicated to improving environmental and social conditions in the global fashion industry. Launched in 2004 in Amsterdam in response to growing consumer concerns over the production of the clothes they wear, MADE-By now has three offices in Europe, with London and Freiburg joining Amsterdam.

The organisation also works in partnership with a group of brands on a long term basis,on services including their famous Track and Trace package, which allows consumers to follow the supply chain of a purchased garment.
This transparency chain and the software developed is an industry leader in enabling brands to document the work they are doing to improve standards within their production processes.
