ZÜRICH – Oeko-Tex has launched a new ‘Responsible Business’ tool in a bid to support brands, retailers and traders in the textile and leather sectors with due diligence compliance.
Based on a range of international policies with additional focus on climate protection, the new tool aims to prevent and mitigate existing and potential negative impacts of companies’ own business operations, their supply chains and their wider business relationships.
The certification tool – which companies can use for self-assessments or to allow third-party verification – will assess six areas: business policy, risk assessment, integration of appropriate actions, continuous monitoring, transparent communication, and complaint mechanism.
