The report titled: ‘An Apparel Supplier’s Guide: Key Sustainability Legislations in the EU, US, and UK’ aims to provide insights and guidance for companies working within the apparel value chain with a focus on those based or headquartered outside of the Global North.

Legislators in the Global North, comprising the EU, United Kingdom, and the US, are spearheading efforts to introduce sustainability-related legislation, so the report analyses the evolving legislative landscape and how it will impact apparel suppliers based outside of the legislator’s jurisdictions.

It aims to help companies understand whether they fall directly or indirectly within the scope of new legislation, as even indirect in-scope companies may still face significant impacts and potential legal liabilities.

By engaging with the factsheets and compliance recommendations presented in the report, the authors hope apparel suppliers can take proactive measures to prepare for compliance and mitigate potential risks.

The report also underscores the importance of aligning sustainability policies and practices with the changing legislative landscape to maintain a competitive edge in the market. It explains that as the focus on sustainability continues to gain momentum, staying on top of these regulations will be instrumental in forging a sustainable future for the apparel industry.
