Supply chain transparency is crucial to achieving systemic change in the global fashion industry.

Gaining visibility into the supply chain enhances our ability to monitor and improve suppliers’ environmental and social practices. That’s why we use the Our Supply Chain (OSC) platform, an end-to-end system that enables us to manage our supply chain mapping progress. We intend to use this tool to map every aspect of our supply chain, which will illuminate further modern slavery risks in Tiers 2 and beyond.

We upload data and documentation, including material composition, supplier names and countries, and any certifications of materials. The system uses this data to create a map of the visible supply chain, as well as estimations of how much there is left to be traced. Our system not only maps but also helps us keep track of audit and certification validity, as well as managing contracts and corrective action plans.

We have mapped all of our Tier 1 manufacturers and are well on our way with Tier 2. With the help of OSC, we can continue to improve our supply chain transparency and dive deeper into our Tier 3 and Tier 4 suppliers.
