14/12/2017
“Our purpose in joining the SAC is to contribute to this platform and help to stimulate sustainability performance in Brazil and Latin America,” explained Renato Boaventura, CEO of Solvay’s Fibras Global Business Unit, of which Rhodia is a part.
“We are pleased to be part of this organisation and confident that this participation will add value to the sustainability of our textile products over time.”
The company will use the SAC’s sustainability measurement tool, the Higg Index, to improve the transparency of its supply chain and to enhance its sustainability performance. Mr Boaventura described this tool as “a model of how industries can collaborate in making a positive impact on value chain performance.”
“We welcome the addition of Rhodia to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and look forward to its participation in this industry-wide effort in sustainability,” said the coalition’s CEO, Jason Kibbey. “Having Rhodia as part of the Coalition widens the scope of our impact within the industry and accelerates the change we’re making towards responsible industry actions.”
