SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article outlining sustainability challenges, opportunities and solutions for the fashion industry in ensuring resource efficiency.
Traditionally a resource-hungry sector, the fashion business is now looking at its consumption of water, energy and chemicals to ensure compliance with global regulatory measures and consumer preferences. Key to solving these issues is reducing waste and ensuring transparency at all stages of product life cycles, as consumers are now keen to make their choices based on planet-friendly business practices.
The SGS Consumer Compact article looks at the factors influencing these changes and offers regulatory compliance solutions based on assessment and verification against recognized global standards. By offering a roadmap for a successful transition, SGS provides innovative approaches to reduce environmental impact whilst also helping businesses improve brand loyalty and product differentiation.
