Transforming Fashion: A Call for Systemic Change! This week's Innovation Forum sparked crucial discussions, with the cotton issue in Brazil taking center stage in my conversations with industry experts. Brands are rightfully concerned about their reputations and legal compliance, but the solution lies in more than just surface-level fixes. We need to revolutionize the way we collect and share data—from the fiber source to the final product. At AWARE™, we call this approach 'fiber-forward traceability,' ensuring transparency and accountability across the entire supply chain. Starting data collection from the final product increases the risk of errors or fraudulent information. By prioritizing the fiber source as the starting point, we guarantee the reliability of the data and uphold the integrity of our sustainability efforts. It's time for a systemic change that puts real transparency at the forefront of fashion. Who joins us?

Navigating the fashion supply chain is like decoding a stylish maze – from cotton fields to catwalks, every link holds a surprise and it is in our hand to make fashion finally transparent! Last week I had a session with BSAMPLY on Traceability, Transparency and their connection to Sustainability. Key takeaways from the session: ● "Sustainability is that trend word of the fashion industry, which is, by the way, a trillion dollar trillion Euro industry producing more than 80 million garments and employing 60 to 75 million people.” ● “Traceability means the microanalysis of the supply chain... only with a transparent and traceable supply chain can we say that something is sustainable." These insights offer valuable guidance for businesses looking to navigate the complexities of sustainable practices effectively. Together we highlighted the competitive advantages that come with a sustainable approach, emphasizing the importance of traceability in supply chains. 🔗 Catch the full recording on BSAMPLY website to explore how you can transform your supply chain for a sustainable future: https://lnkd.in/dfuNjDHu #Sustainability #SupplyChain #BSamplyWebinar #Traceability
