The fashion industry is one of the largest industries contributing 2% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Sustainable development of the industry requires comprehensive risk management throughout the supply chain from design and manufacture to consumption patterns. Supply chain transparency is a major factor in the identification of potential risks or adverse impacts on the environment and social responsibility.

In this webinar, SGS will co-host with REDRESS - a local Hong Kong environmental NGO, to share the latest sustainability trends and concerns for the fashion industry with stakeholders.
