Innovation in action
Recent work from The Dock: Transparency in the fashion supply chain
Sustainability is an urgent industry goal but the fashion industry isn’t following the trend. It produces 150 billion garments each year, most of which end up as waste, and it consumes more energy than aviation and shipping combined.
The Dock wanted to examine how technology could transform transparency and traceability across the clothing supply chain. We spoke to 21 companies, with combined revenues topping US$140 billion, to explore the vast complexity of their supply chains and how technology can help make them sustainable.
We found increased consumer awareness of sustainability, improving industry standards and more ethical brand practices. However, for sustainability to become a reality, we found that organizations need strong leadership, the industry needs to collaborate, and it needs to become a pre-competitive priority.
What we think
