Due Diligence

Oeko-Tex, the global certifier of textile and leather products and production, has launched a Responsible Business tool to support brands, retailers and traders in the textiles and leather sector with due diligence compliance.

A new industry alliance has argued that mandatory due diligence needs to be well-designed to promote the creation of an EU-wide level-playing field, and should capture the responsibility of companies to respect human rights and the environment in their supply chain as formulated in the OECD Guidelines.
