Primark, Wrangler get transparent on their manufacturing

Asos, Wrangler and Primark are among the major fashion brands that are becoming more transparent about their supply chains.

The 3rd annual Fashion Transparency Index, which ranked 150 major global brands according to how much they are willing to reveal about their social and environmental practices, shows that the industry has a long way to go before it can confidently tell us

Many online and high street favourites scored less than 10 per cent. The report found that things are slowly moving in the right direction. More brands have published a list of where their clothes are cut, sewn and completed and 62 per cent of brands are disclosing their process for fixing problems when violations are found in a supplier factory.

However, with none of the brands scoring more than 60per cent there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The Fashion Revolution campaign believes that although change is slowly happening, many companies are still operating in broadly the same way that enabled the RanaPlaza disaster to occur.

According to the an ambassador for Adidas there are people working on sustainability within these companies every day, but it’s not easy to track every cotton farm and everyone involved, as there are thousands of locations around the world. Fashion Revolution co-founder, Carry Somers, agreed that the fight for sustainability is not an easy one, but how brands are responding to the report by upping their game proves that improvements can be made.
