The impact of sustainability is rising on the global fashion industry\u2019s agenda and it\u2019s having a knock-on effect on the buying behavior of consumers. As consumers, we are encouraging brands to answer \u2018Who made my product?\u2019 and pushing the industry to become more transparent. After the Rana Plaza incident five years ago in Bangladesh, the fashion industry called for change and the first vital step was to increase visibility and transparency in the supply chain. No doubt a lot has changed since the incident and some very positive progress has been made. However, it\u2019s still impossible for a consumer to find out where their clothes are made, by whom and what impact this has on people\u2019s lives and our planet?<\/p>\n

This year over 2.5 million people worldwide participated in the non-profit global movement Fashion Revolution. 113,000 social posts included the hashtag #whomademyclothes. Consumers love fashion, but they don\u2019t want their clothes to come at the cost of people or the planet.<\/p>\n

As per the\u00a0Fashion Transparency Index 2018 survey,<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2013 Only\u00a0<\/strong>10 brands scored above 50% for their transparency score<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Not a single brand is scoring above 60%<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 37%<\/strong>\u00a0of brands and retailers are publishing the list of their manufacturer<\/strong>s<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Only\u00a0<\/strong>1 brand (ASOS), disclosed its raw material suppliers<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how can retailers cope up with transparency and answer the major question \u2013 \u201cWho made my product?\u201d<\/p>\n

Having the right, scalable technology helps build the foundation for a stable and connected network of suppliers and their factories, this will assist retailers to enhance their reputation and products, not put them at risk.<\/p>\n

Duncan Grewcock, Chief Operating Officer \u2013 APAC, EV Cargo Technology, looks at 5 key areas to optimise sustainability through vendor and factory engagement-\u00a0On-board<\/strong>,\u00a0Collaborate<\/strong>,\u00a0Manage<\/strong>,\u00a0Monitor<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Predict<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He also delves into how these 5 crucial areas can tackle the major issues retailers face and how technology can help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
