Through StitchTogether the European textiles and apparel industry is set to receive a boost in its efforts to adapt to global competition, eco-friendly practices, and technological advancements while ensuring decent working conditions and robust social dialogue.

Euratex director general Dirk Vantyghem welcomed the new initiative and said: “Having a constructive and mature social dialogue is an important component of this new EU Industrial Deal, which should be part of the next European Commission’s agenda. This project is therefore very timely.”

IndustriAll Europe secretary general Judith Kirton-Darling added: “Quality social dialogue is essential to make the green and digital transition of the textiles a success in Europe and ensure a Just Transition for workers. We are delighted to kick off this project and hope to see real results on the ground.’’
