The big clothing retail platforms such as the likes of Amazon, Zalando, ASOS, Next, Ebay and Revolve, amongst others, could be a huge force for positive change in our industry – at a time when self-assessed ‘improvements’ may not be enough, argues John Mowbray. "Looking ahead, perhaps there’s room for a ‘platform coalition’ or consortium? Not one that conflicts with others in our industry such as the SAC or the ZDHC, but one that uses these pragmatic standards to harmonise social and environmental performance across clothing sold on all retail portals?"
