BRUSSELS - A coalition of civil society and workers' rights groups has accused the European Union of forgetting vulnerable garment workers in its new Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.
Fashion Revolution, Fair Trade, Clean Clothes Campaign, Traidcraft Exchange, Solidaridad, IndustriAll, Environmental Coalition on Standards, European Environmental Bureau, Environmental Coalition on Standards and RREUSE released a joint statement on the issue.
"With environmental and social sustainability being two sides of the same coin, it is a huge missed opportunity that a chapter of the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles seems to have been lost," they said in the statement.
