United Legwear & Apparel plans to adopt TradeBeyond’s multi-enterprise platform to strengthen supply chain transparency and governance, reinforcing its commitment to ethical sourcing. The move highlights the company’s focus on maintaining high standards for sustainability and compliance amidst increasing regulatory demands.
TradeBeyond’s AI-powered traceability tools will enable United Legwear to navigate complex compliance requirements, ensuring transparency from raw materials to final product delivery. These tools include real-time document authentication and chain-of-custody tracking, simplifying adherence to laws such as the US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) mandates in North America and Europe.
Chris Volpe, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, United Legwear & Apparel, emphasizes, TradeBeyond’s advanced traceability tools provides the company with a comprehensive view of its entire supply chain, ensuring responsible sourcing and strengthening supplier relationships.
The integration of TradeBeyond’s CBX platform is part of a phased deployment strategy aimed at automating critical compliance processes. This platform will improve collaboration with suppliers, many of whom are based in Asia, and reduce risks by validating essential compliance documentation.
The AI technology embedded in the platform analyzes vast amounts of supply chain data, identifying irregularities or compliance issues. These capabilities will help United Legwear meet stringent requirements while addressing upcoming regulations focused on recyclability and carbon footprint reporting.
Michael Hung, CEO, TradeBeyond says, the CBX platform empowers United Legwear to maintain compliance with evolving regulations while enhancing efficiency and transparency across their supply chain.
United Legwear & Apparel, a 25-year leader in designing and distributing legwear, bodywear, and accessories, collaborates with renowned brands like Puma, Scotch & Soda, and Skechers. This latest partnership with TradeBeyond reflects its ongoing commitment to ethical practices and innovative supply chain solutions.
