January Focus: Integrity

We’re kicking 2012 off with January’s focus on the many facets of Integrity.  Textile Exchange sees integrity as the linchpin to the successful growth of the sustainable textile industry. Integrity in business is more than purity of intentions: it means understanding the sustainability issues, taking a life-cycle approach, verifying the truth and accuracy of all claims, and pursuing transparency. Certification is at the core of our work: our standards address gaps in product claim verification, we support supply chain transparency and traceability, we work with stakeholders to identify and address issues, and our numerous available resources explain the process and responsibilities for key players.
Our blogs this month, focus on the various facets of integrity, from its purpose and benefits at the farm gate to the investments being made by multinational brands. We will also be offering a complimentary webinar on January 31, “Integrity in Value Chain Investment.” Click here to register.
