Understanding complex upstream supply chains is a significant challenge for sourcing specialists in the apparel industry. This complexity makes it difficult to mitigate social and environmental risks and enforce best practices globally, underscoring the need for transparency.
Legislations globally, like the EU’s Green Deal, will mandate digital product passports (DPPs), which will help ensure upstream transparency and downstream consumer accessibility through digital labelling. Furthermore, the New York Fashion Act will require brands to rigorously map their upstream supply chain and disclose their environmental and social impacts. Underlining the need for robust and scalable solutions available on demand for the growing social and environmental reporting measures.
