A new online portal from the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre will continually update users with the latest information gathered on apparel supply chains, with a particular focus on purchasing practices and worker rights.
Rather than zeroing in on a particular nation or region, the platform collates information in all countries globally – whether textile-producing hotspots or states where apparel manufacturing is far less prevalent.
Natalie Swan, the Centre’s Labour Right Programme Manager, talks to Ecotextile News about what this platform has been created to achieve and discusses the industry context in which it has been launched.
