The two parties have agreed to align requirements, tools, and verification systems. They will also hold joint activities and share information in the future.
“Working together with one of the leading global sustainability initiatives in the garment sector is an important step for the Textiles Partnership," said Juergen Janssen, head of the secretariat of the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles. "The strategic cooperation between our organisations will contribute to the harmonisation of sustainability requirements for our member companies and create a level playing field across national borders."
Over the next four years, SAC and the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles will collaborate based on approaches and protocols laid out by the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Members of the two organisations will develop and test joint verification and reporting systems and explore opportunities for a joint methodology to measure impact.
