Resources Why Sustainability Matters for Suppliers
As environmental concerns take center stage, brands, regulators, and consumers are demanding greater transparency and responsibility from suppliers. But what does this mean for suppliers in the apparel and textile industry?
The numbers speak for themselves:
70% of brands prefer suppliers with transparent sustainability data. Brands are prioritizing suppliers who can provide verifiable data on their sustainability efforts. Without transparency, suppliers risk losing business to competitors who are ready to meet these expectations.
Fashion supply chains contribute up to 10% of global carbon emissions. The apparel industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change. Reducing carbon emissions is no longer just about compliance—it’s about staying relevant in a market where sustainability is a key decision factor for brands and consumers alike.
Textile production accounts for 20% of global industrial water pollution. Chemical-intensive processes in textile manufacturing contribute to significant water pollution. Brands are increasingly enforcing stricter environmental requirements, making it essential for suppliers to improve wastewater management and chemical compliance.
