Solidaridad plan to reshape fashion supply chains

UTRECHT - The Solidaridad Europe NGO has set out a five‑year plan to reshape how European fashion brands think about cotton and apparel sourcing, arguing that current due diligence efforts risk becoming “box‑ticking” unless purchasing practices change fundamentally.

The organisation’s 2026–2030 Multi‑Annual Strategic Plan (MASP) casts Europe as both a regulatory driver and a potential bottleneck for small‑scale farmers and workers supplying clothing and other commodities to the EU market.
