The Challenge
Every day brands source their apparel and textiles from factories across the globe. Some of these factories produce vibrant fabrics, but can also produce volatile waste in the form of hazardous chemicals, dyes, and other water pollutants despite stakeholders’ ongoing pressure to address and reform such behavior.

How can you be sure the manufacturing of your products is not contributing to the massive tons of wastewater polluting lakes, rivers, oceans and soil?
Do you have a strategy in place to protect your brand value and reputation?
How do you make sure your products and your supply chain comply with your Restricted Substances List (RSL) and Chemical Management program?
