Sustainability in the Fashion Industry

In this episode on Assurance in Action, Supply Chain Assurance Senior Director, Catherine Beare gives an overview of ethical supply chains in the fashion industry. The fashion industry supply chain can have issues with forced labour, harassment issues, and health and safety hazards. Production can also affect the environment through energy usage, wastewater, emissions to air, and more. These days, brands and buyers alike are demanding transparency in supply chains. Catherine discusses how big brands are working to understand the problem and what steps they are taking to improve workplace conditions and ensure a more sustainable supply chain.
