The Nordic Initiative Clean and Ethical (NICE) has been established to motivate and assist companies in the Nordic fashion industry in becoming more sustainable. NICE is a groundbreaking collaboration that brings together the entire Nordic fashion industry around the shared goal of incorporating sustainable values, principles, and practices into the industry and making a difference globally. The largest and most important UN climate change conference is underway in Copenhagen, aiming to secure an agreement on how to protect the world from calamitous global warming.
