Overview
Sustainable fashion is a fast-growing trend and this is an exciting time for brands and retailers. However, if not carefully managed, sustainability can become just a trend without a real benefit in terms of reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
Managing sustainability depends on information systems throughout the sourcing process, and cannot be verified by lab-based testing. The complex nature of the supply chain in the fashion industry makes traceability even more difficult. Therefore, it is very important to follow a due diligence process and authenticate any sustainability claims that go on your products.
