A new research talks about the rules currently being developed under two new laws in the European Union, which will now mandate companies to report on the effects of their environmental and social policies in their supply chains.
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.
