Supply chain transparency is of paramount importance in the textile and leather industry for several reasons:

Ethical Sourcing: Transparency allows companies to ensure that their raw materials are sourced ethically. This means that workers involved in the production of these materials are treated fairly, paid a living wage, and work in safe conditions.

Environmental Impact: Transparent supply chains enable companies to assess the environmental impact of their production processes and to minimise their environmental footprint. This includes understanding the use of water, energy, chemicals and disposal of waste throughout the supply chain.

Consumer Trust: In an increasingly conscious consumer market, transparency builds trust. Consumers want to know where and how the products they purchase were made. By providing transparency into their supply chains, companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical practices, which enhances brand reputation and trust.

Legal Compliance: Many countries have regulations in place regarding supply chain transparency, particularly concerning issues such as forced labor, human trafficking, and environmental impact. Maintaining transparency helps companies ensure compliance with these regulations.
