Supply chains are more like webs than linear chains, with layers of agents, contractors and subcontractors. This is a problem because fragmented and opaque supply chains can allow exploitative and unsafe working conditions to thrive while obscuring who has the responsibility and power to redress them.
This is why Fashion Revolution, among many other organisations, has been calling for greater transparency and accountability across the global fashion industry since the Rana Plaza building collapsed in Bangladesh in 2013 killing more than a thousand garment workers. In support of the Tamil Nadu Alliance, Fashion Revolution has reviewed the supply chain transparency efforts of 62 major brands and retailers with reported links to textile suppliers in Tamil Nadu.

Many stages of the manufacture of apparel are significant users of water, from dyeing to raw material manufacture. Companies in the Apparel Industry should be talking about and reporting on their use of water and how they are exposed to water-related risk. The availability of water is expected to be favorably stimulated in many key apparel manufacturing regions as a result of climate change, inefficient use and untreated disposal. This could threaten production of textiles in many key regions and thus disrupt supply chains. Planet Tracker used open source data to map the location of apparel factories across the globe and consider the current level of water stress they are exposed to and how this is projected to change over time.

This briefing reveals the role played by imported used clothes called ‘Mitumba’ in East Africa, and how much of it is of such poor quality that it goes straight to the dumpsite.
