The fashion industry is facing a pivotal moment where due diligence in the supply chain is paramount. With regulations tightening and public awareness increasing, it's crucial for brands and retailers to step up their game. These five steps offer a roadmap to not just compliance but also to making a real difference in human rights and the environment. Let's join hands in reshaping the industry for the better! 👇 😀

On 14 March, France's National Assembly adopted a bill aimed at protecting consumers and reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry by penalizing fast fashion. The bill bans advertising the sale of clothes at discounted prices and introducing an increased environmental penalty to make them less attractive. In the latest issue of Vogue Business Magazine, Gregory Tulquois, partner in the Intellectual Property and Technology practice, takes a critical look at this proposal, which still needs to be fleshed out to determine which players will be affected and how. The bill approved by the National Assembly is currently being examined by the Senate. Upon adoption, the implementation decrees will exactly detail the scope of this law.

Go to FAQs! Does an accreditation address the sustainability and environmental impacts of fast fashion? It’s a question we get asked a lot, and an understandable thought for any conscious consumer! Our rigorous accreditation program specifically focuses on the social rights and entitlements of garment workers. Social rights are a specific set of rights under human rights law. We audit the entire supply chain from design to dispatch ensuring that workers are being paid correctly, receiving the right entitlements and are working in a safe environment. Whilst our focus is defined by the above, many of our accredited businesses are doing incredible work to address sustainability and environmental concerns. Want to know more?

🌏 What is the New York Fashion Act, why do we need it and how can we support it? The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act is a ground-breaking piece of legislation driving mandatory social and environmental due diligence for brands selling in New York. Today, on May 7th, supporters will show up in Albany to make some noise, and urge legislators to pass the bill. So, what should the Fashion Act do? ➡ Mandate that companies know and disclose their supply chains: the Fashion Act requires companies to map their supply chain down to their raw material providers. ➡ Require companies wishing to sell to the New York market to, at a minimum, set and achieve science based targets in line with the Paris Agreement.   ➡ Require companies to work with their suppliers to effectively manage their chemical use. ➡ Measurably improve the lives of garment workers As one of the largest economies in the world, and a global fashion capital, New York has the opportunity – and moral responsibility – to hold fashion companies accountable to the planet and its people and help drive global change to the industry. It's time to #ActOnFashion. Maxine Bédat Ken Pucker

🧵 Power Imbalance in Fashion Supply Chains The fashion industry faces a power imbalance between suppliers and buyers, leading to compromised worker safety. With consumers demanding fast and sustainable fashion, suppliers are under pressure without additional compensation. Key Points: Companies must align purchasing practices with regulations like CSDDD, improving human rights and sustainability. Non-Compliance Consequences: Fines up to 5% of global turnover and potential damage claims. Matthijs Crietee, IAF: New regulations prevent buyers from shifting all costs to manufacturers, promoting fairness. Kate Lewis, ETI: Responsible purchasing practices protect workers and enhance business sustainability. Peter McAllister, ETI: This is a chance to standardize human rights due diligence and improve global working conditions. #Sustainability #Fashion #EthicalTrade #HumanRights #SupplyChain
