BRUSSELS – The European Commission will meet stakeholders from the global apparel industry next week to explore the idea of launching a 'flagship' initiative on responsible management of the supply chain in the garment sector. Among other things, the proposed initiative would look to foster responsible management of the supply chain in the garment sector, provide better information and understanding for European consumers of garment manufacture, and improve communication on the work the EU is doing to improve sustainable development in the global supply chain.
