Sustainability & Compliance
Due diligence in fashion supply chains will become more and more complex. More data from your supply chain will be required, more transparency needs to be achieved, and more assessments will be expected.
To ensure that everyone keeps the overview and has a clear path towards full compliance and effective sustainability management, we have developed our Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDD) Framework.
