DUBAI – A raft of textile industry organisations, NGOs and ecotextile certification standards have pledged their support to the United Nations’ International Trade Centre’s (ITC) ‘Uniting Sustainable Actions’ initiative, which champions the work of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in global supply chains.

The initiative works to highlight and reward the contributions of SMEs by collating and publicising their sustainability credentials on the UN’s Certified Business Registry, a centralised platform covering multiple parts of the textile supply chain.
