RIO DE JANEIRO – Leading brands scored an average of just 18 per cent for the amount of sustainability information they disclose in the fourth edition of Brazil’s Fashion Transparency Index (BFTI).
The Fashion Revolution survey of 50 of the biggest brands operating in the country reveals the extent to which they publicly reveal their environmental and human rights policies and practices throughout their value chain.
Among the companies reviewed, the average score was 18 per cent – even less than last year’s score of 21 per cent – with most brands scoring no more than 10 per cent.
