Transparency, a major challenge for the textile supply chain

The clothing and footwear industry is one of the major sectors of the global economy, but also one of the industries with the highest environmental footprint

Meeting the growing demand from civil society and consumers for greater "sustainability" requires obtaining reliable information about the products that consumers buy, wear, or use.

Transparency appears as a catalyst for immediate action because it relies on a rigorous way of collecting and exchanging information relating to Supply Chain throughout the value chain and between all actors (producers of raw materials, manufacturers, intermediaries, brands and retailers).

It is in this context that companies are seeking to rethink their business model, not only in terms of economic profit, but also in terms of sustainability and societal values to improve their image and enhance the value of their products.

This is the challenge that the e-SCM solution addresses to support this shift in the Fashion and Textile industry in general.

With e-SCM, traceability is at the heart of the textile supply chain

e-SCM offers a traceability that not only optimizes the management of increasingly fragmented supply chains but also collects all information on the manufacturing cycle of the Finished Product to provide it to the end consumer.

e-SCM solution enables the mapping of flows at all stages of the value chain, from the production of raw materials or components to the and distribution of finished products traceability data should extend to the various distribution channels and ultimately to the product's reuse or recycling

e-SCM at the service of CSR transparency for brands

e-SCM is becoming a central tool for brands committed to a CSR approach to demonstrate how they are taking concrete action to:

Improve the conditions of employees at the production and manufacturing stages of raw materials, particularly upstream in the value chain.
Improve the environmental footprint of products and production processes throughout the value chain, including aspects such as use, reuse and recycling.
To shift consumer attitudes towards smarter and more ethical consumption choices
Ensure that end consumers receive accurate and relevant information on the social, environmental and health risk aspects and impacts of clothing and footwear.
