I'm confused by this phrase:

this DEI gimmick

What gimmick would that be? I can't see anything in the text that this might refer to. Is this a translation issue? Because even the term "DEI" is at least unusual, that's not a thing in Germany. I'd like to know what he said originally.

DEI is definitely used in corporate environments. I understand this use of the term as "rightswashing", where the corporate performs inclusivity without actually doing anything about it.

I don't buy much clothes but I'm in need to order some new ones. Zalando was great because of the vast selection of brands - despite them making it harder to filter on environmentally better options already several years ago. Now I don't want to use them any more. Any suggestions for good, ethical and preferably environmentally friendly online stores for Sweden/EU?

There are a number of them, but they are typically more expensive. Avocadostore is German based and shows quite a few.

Trash selling trash. I didn't need a reason to boycott them, but I won't complain.
