Participate in the Materials Benchmarking

We’ve created a common framework for companies to report their progress in materials sourcing.

“You cannot know where you are going, if you don’t know where you are”

What is Materials Benchmarking?

About the Materials Benchmarking

Peer to peer comparative tracking of fibers and raw materials sourcing by companies in the fashion textile and apparel industry. Developed by Textile Exchange to enable participating companies to:

Track & Measure the update and Impact of your fibers and raw materials

Report on strategic approach against an industry-recognized framework

Support the industry in reaching the Climate+ target of a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas from fiber and raw materials production by 2030

The Benchmark program is expanding to support more consolidation in industry reporting and deepening its role in tracking progress towards goals for climate and nature.
