We participate in this conversation by being open with our consumers and leading by example. Transparency must become ‘normal’ for all businesses- it’s not an unheard of, radical or expensive concept. It’s honest, fair, sustainable and much more effective for business success and longevity.

There is no blanket ‘fix’ for the global garment industry. Employment and safety conditions vary within factories from country to country and the issues in the surrounding environment change in each local industry. Dorsu discusses understanding the context for brands operating in Cambodia.
