AMSTERDAM – Workers’ rights organisation Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) has published a new Position Paper on Transparency which says that the voluntary actions of industry stakeholders to date “will never achieve the substantial change necessary”.
The paper follows on from the CCC’s last report of this kind in 2016, which asked similar questions of the industry and made recommendations to governments, brands, retailers and manufacturers on how best sweeping improvements can be made.
The bottom line of the CCC’s position is that it wants legislation put in place to make it a mandatory requirement of stakeholders to provide detailed insight into supply chain operations, as to underpin the industry’s efforts to become more sustainable.
