Sustainable Apparel Coalition Inks MoU With IAF
The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), outlining a strategic collaboration with the International Apparel Federation (IAF).
This collaboration aims to advance a shared vision for equitable and sustainable global supply chains for the apparel and fashion industry.
The two organisations come together with the shared belief that their collaboration can catalyse net-positive effects on the societies and communities of which they are a part.
This is underpinned by an understanding of the need to further advance balance and equal partnership in commercial activities throughout the supply chain.
These include building efficiencies that will reduce the number of social and environmental assessments that unnecessarily burden manufacturers.
The strategic collaboration recognises the value of each organisation’s different core competencies, skill sets, and expertise in order to build complementary solutions, industry roadmaps, and frameworks.
Responsible for as much as roughly 8 percent of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the textile and apparel industry recognises the scale and urgency of the global climate challenge.
IAF and SAC will collaborate on projects and activities to deliver decarbonisation of the industry in line with internationally recognised targets, working together on collective action opportunities.
