Development Goals
Classic Vintage & The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global objectives designed to promote prosperity, protect the planet, and ensure peace for all by 2030. Adopted by all UN member states, the SDGs provide a shared framework for governments, businesses, and communities to work together toward a more sustainable and equitable future. They address critical challenges such as poverty, climate change, environmental degradation, and inequality—making them a vital roadmap for creating lasting positive impact worldwide.
Our Impact: Advancing Global Sustainability
Classic Vintage is proud to support several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our mission of giving new life to secondhand clothing, shoes, toys, and household items. By preventing waste and reducing demand for new goods, our work directly contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
How We Help: Classic Vintage extends the life of products, reduces landfill waste, and lessens the environmental impact of fast fashion. We encourage and enable sustainable consumption and production by making quality used goods available and affordable.
SDG 13: Climate Action
How We Help: Reusing textiles and household goods cuts greenhouse gas emissions associated with both manufacturing and waste. Our operations help lower the carbon footprint of the fashion and retail industries by displacing the need for new resource-intensive products.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
How We Help: Our business creates stable jobs in local communities and supports livelihoods in the global reuse and recycling supply chain. We contribute to responsible economic growth by making resource efficiency and social responsibility central to our business.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
How We Help: Classic Vintage supports cities and communities by reducing the environmental burden of landfill waste, supporting circular economy practices, and providing affordable goods to residents. Our model encourages sustainable urban development and resilient communities.
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
How We Help: We work collaboratively with businesses, wholesalers, logistics providers, nonprofits, and local governments. These partnerships amplify our positive impact and help accelerate progress toward the SDGs.
Additional Impact Areas
SDG 1: No Poverty: Affordable secondhand goods make essential items accessible to all.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities: Our supply chains support economic opportunities in both developed and developing countries.
SDG 15: Life on Land: By keeping goods in circulation, we help protect ecosystems and reduce pollution.
