AMSTERDAM - The Laudes Foundation has launched an online platform to help the fashion industry adapt to new legislation such as the European Union's proposed mandatory due diligence legislation.
The philanthropic organisation, controlled by the Brenninkmeijer family which owns C&A, says the free 'Transparency in Action' portal will help global brands better understand the role of transparency and improve their supply chain disclosures.
The European Commission last week unveiled its draft directive on corporate sustainability due diligence which would make brands responsible for human rights and environmental issues in their global supply chains.
