Can apparel brands ever understand supplier challenges?

Share

This week: Pakistan-based denim garments manufacturer Soorty Enterprises’ head of ESG, Mobeen Chughtai, talks with Niamh Campbell, Innovation Forum’s head of portfolio, apparel and textiles, about some of the challenges facing sector factories and suppliers that buyers at brands need to know about. They talk about digital product passports, development of renewably powered factories and what productive relationships can look like.

Plus: Amazon deforestation slows, again; New Zealand’s modern slavery regulation on track; and, who pays for climate change impacts, including Nepal’s catastrophic flooding, in the news digest.
