🌐 Is the fashion industry prepared to meet the demands of traceability-focused legislation? 📈 As Europe rolls out over 16 new laws in the last year aimed at traceability, our fashion industry is at a pivotal moment. A highlight? An impressive 52% of major brands have now published information about their first-level suppliers in 2023, a significant jump from 30% in 2022 Despite this progress, the detail in traceability tells another story. Nearly half of the brands scoring between 0 and 1%, it's evident that transparency efforts have room to grow 🧐. Moreover, a mere 12% of brands are transparent about their raw material suppliers, signaling a gap in full supply chain transparency 🌍. As the legislative landscape tightens, it's clear that while strides have been made, the pace of increasing traceability isn't quite matching up with the surge in legislative demands 🔍. This calls for a moment of reflection: how can the industry further adapt to meet new legislationst? 🌱 I expect the CSDDD will boost commitment towards corporate accountability. 💬 Let's discuss below! #FashionTransparency #SustainableFashion #EURegulations #IndustryEvolution

(Re)building trust amidst economic and geopolitical turbulence is paramount!    The fashion industry, in particular, faces scrutiny for its opaque supply chains. To restore faith, transparency and traceability are key. Legislative shifts like the New York Fashion Act and EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive underscore this urgency.    Achieving this demands the core elements: 1. Building and nurturing relationships with open dialogue across the supply chain. 2. Leveraging new, innovative technology for real-time monitoring and tracking. 3. Fostering collaboration and partnerships – because no one can make the necessary changes alone. From cotton fields to garment factories, every link must be visible.    You can read more in the link below.    #SupplyChainTransparency #Traceability #DueDiligence
