It is not enough for brands to audit only their direct suppliers, the clothing manufacturers; there are also sub-suppliers in the chain that need to be audited. Transparency of production is the key to a more responsible future for the fashion industry. At the same time, in a sustainable business, the social impact of the brand as well as its environmental impact should be taken into consideration. It is important for brands to be responsible for the conditions in the entire supply chain, subject their production facilities and suppliers to strict control, and prefer those that accept and implement certain principles. Basic Level: The brand has very basic knowledge and only knows the company that produces its products. Medium Level: The brand knows the material supplier (cotton fiber supplier, yarn supplier, etc.) but does not perform an audit. Good Level: The brand knows its supply chain down to the raw material level (cotton producers, cardboard box manufacturers, etc.) and inspects its suppliers at regular intervals.
