tex.tracer: verified transparency for a better fashion ecosystem tex.tracer understands that verified transparency is the basis for the needed change in the fashion industry. Therefore, the platform empowers companies, consumers and other stakeholders to act based on the truth. Come to the Circular Textile Days to learn why verified transparency is crucial for the future of fashion. In tex.tracer's ideal world, everyone refers to value chains when talking about their supply chain. Each supplier is considered as an added value instead of a potential risk to a brands' reputation and revenue. Managing a value chain is based on data-fed information which is accessible and easy to understand to all. The participation of tex.tracer is intended to start conversations about how it can support organisations in achieving this vision. We invite you to join them in conversation and explore how verified transparency can change the fashion industry for the better. Let's work together towards a future where value chains are transparent, trusted, and sustainable. @Jolanda Kooi @Sofie Wijlens @Nadine Jeurissen
