Traceability and corporate social responsibility are also at the core of Cashmere Flakes’ business model. The brand sources its cashmere fibers directly from the Nomad Herders Cooperative, the members of which comply with the code of conduct developed by the Swiss International Cooperation, and every fiber used is currently tracked by block chain

In addition to pursuing a sustainable collection, the brand donates past seasons' wares to various causes, including the University Settlement House on the Lower East Side of New York, and a San Francisco-based line called MODify/d that recycles cashmere into plush, stuffed animals for children.

philanthropy An ethical business contributes to philanthropic or charitable endeavours. Such activity may relate directly to sustainability if it involves the donation of unsold inventory, contribution to practices that enhance the sustainability of suppliers' livelihoods, etc. Similar to #social-business.
