Research-Driven Insights on our areas of work
Textile Industry’s New Must-Have: Sustainable Sourcing at Scale
With climate change affecting the word now, textile companies must act towards solving it. Textiles industry is one of the top contributors towards emission of greenhouse gases. Sustainability and transparency is the top area for brands to work on.
What is responsible sourcing and why should brands adopt it?
The textiles industry lacks a common language on sustainable sourcing. Brands do not share a set of standards. The world needs brands to follow supply chain responsibility and voluntary commitment to account social and environmental costs.
What do the consumers want? Increasing awareness about sustainability.
Consumer demand for responsible and sustainable products is growing rapidly. Consumers are ready more than ever to pay higher prices to reduce negative externalities in their consumption. Brands need to transition to this trend and deliver fast.
Managing sourcing costs in the drive to sustainability and shift to Trade 2.0
With the pressure on companies from investors, government, and consumers to account for ESG factors, the costs of sourcing are increasing rapidly. To make this shift to sustainable trade, we need to account for the increasing costs and keep them low enough through technology for long results.
How can the textiles industry harness innovation in technology?
While there have been development in technical infrastructure to produce textiles at a fast scale, there have been very less or no development in sourcing technologies. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies offer immense potential to eliminate inefficiencies in sourcing.
Strategy to manage relationships with suppliers
Every company needs a set of practical steps keeping in mind a global and cultural perspective to monitor and promote social and environmental performance in their supply chains. Data Science along with expert analysis to evaluate suppliers plays a key role in formulating strategy.
