Textile Traceability: A collective goal for a more sustainable fashion & textile sector

Today more than ever, expectations are evolving. Consumers want to know where the products they buy come from. Meanwhile, public authorities are tightening transparency requirements, and brands must prove their commitment. As a result, traceability has become an essential requirement in the textile and apparel sector.

Suppliers in the textile-apparel industry: you play a vital role. It is thanks to you that brands can attest to the origin of components and the manufacturing stages of their products. For every product element (materials and accessories), precise data is now expected: origin, processing, weight, certifications, eco-design claims…

• Meeting consumer expectations for transparency.

• Strengthening the credibility of brands committed to more responsible fashion.

• Complying with regulations to ensure product compliance and safeguard access to the European market.

• Reliable and verifiable information at every stage of production.

• Full transparency regarding origins and processing.

• Active involvement in collecting data from your own partners.

• Secure your partnerships with brands.

• Stay ahead of regulatory requirements.

• Actively participate in the sustainable transformation of the industry.
