Season’s Greetings to all our readers. As the year winds down we’d like to take the opportunity to look back and highlight some of the most significant stories that we published from each month of this year, including some comments from our reporters and contributors.

You can hear about moves from New York to ban the production and sale of textiles containing PFAS, known as ‘forever chemicals’ – to the announcement of the minimum wage for garment workers in Bangladesh being increased for the first time in five years.

We also explain why we went big on the Rana Plaza anniversary with a 14-page supplement and flag up some of the leading innovations and initiatives that we think will gain traction and become major industry talking points in the coming years.
