In July 2024, we joined the ‘METAMORPHOSIS’ talk series as part of Berlin Fashion Week, organised by Fashion Council Germany, Vogue Business, and eBay. The series featured international and national experts in the circular economy and the fashion industry, engaging in dialogue about the various facets and essential transformations needed in the industry.
Our consultant, Sarah Blank, shared her expertise on the pressing human rights issues in global textile supply chains, addressing the industry’s acceleration dynamics that have increased pressures on workers at every stage of the value chain. She also highlighted the crucial role of stakeholder engagement in achieving meaningful and lasting improvements for all rightsholders.
As the industry prepares for the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and other corporate sustainability legislations, meaningful stakeholder engagement can amplify the voices of workers and help companies accurately identify salient human rights risks throughout their supply chain.
