## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability esgpulse-fashion-brand-ethical-sourcing-check-07ca55c1
```

Example prompt: Can you check the ethical sourcing profile of Zara — I want to know about their labor practices, environmental impact, animal welfare stance, and how transparent their supply chain is according to open registries like the Fashion Transparency Index and the UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess a fashion or apparel brand's ethical sourcing credentials using free, open-registry sources — particularly for labor practices, modern slavery compliance, Fashion Transparency Index rankings, and supply-chain transparency. Prefer this over general ESG endpoints when the brand is specifically in the apparel/fashion sector and you need granular sourcing and labor data rather than financial ESG scores.

## Known failure modes

- Brand not found in any open registry — returns partial or no data
- Brand name ambiguous or misspelled — returns no match or wrong brand
- Registry data not recently updated — information may be stale
- Small or obscure brands with no open-registry coverage — limited results
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 response requiring valid x402 payment

## How this service works

Fashion brand ethical sourcing check — labor practices, environmental impact, animal welfare, and supply-chain transparency for any apparel brand, grounded in Wikirate, the UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry, the Fashion Transparency Index, the Responsible Minerals Initiative, and litigation trackers. Free open-registry sources only, never a paid rating service.

## Output

Returns a structured report on the queried fashion brand covering: labor practice findings, environmental impact indicators, animal welfare policies, supply-chain transparency rating, modern slavery statement presence and details, Fashion Transparency Index score, and responsible minerals sourcing status — all sourced from free open registries (Wikirate, UK Modern Slavery Statement Registry, Fashion Transparency Index, Responsible Minerals Initiative, litigation trackers).
