Made-By introduces new Theory of Change

The organisation facilitated increased transparency through its services on supply chain transparency in 2016, as per its annual report. It also worked with more than 40 companies in committing towards more sustainable fashion and became involved with the European Clothing Action Plan (ECAP) as well as the SWITCH Asia’s SMART Myanmar project.

The report says that the organisation is focused towards implementing a circular vision of clothes and textiles in 2017 with innovative business models, technologies and financial innovations, driven by the necessity to improve working conditions in the supply chain and reduce the footprint of the fashion industry.

The organisation also expects 2017 to be the year of innovations for sustainable fashion, moving towards transparency and traceability becoming common practice and affordable and driven by consumers demanding sustainable fashion and being prepared to act, according to the report.

The report says that Made-By is focused on increasing its impact in the industry through innovative services and programmes. In the next year, the organisation will update its Environmental Benchmark for Fibres and extend its offer relating to sustainable fibres and Detox.

Made-By will also apply and validate its tools and demonstrate legitimacy by facilitating increased transparency of supply chains and mitigating potential risks along the value chain and support companies on their journey towards a circular economy as part of ECAP, SCAP and through strategy development.
