Ensuring Integrity in Environmental Claims: Avoiding Greenwashing in the Clothing Industry In today's growing environmentally conscious market, transparency and integrity are more important than ever. With the focus now on the clothing industry, we advise all industry participants to employ rigorous governance and due diligence. It is essential to avoid greenwashing, the practice of making false or misleading claims about the environmental benefits of a product or service. Greenwashing undermines consumer trust and hinders the genuine sustainability efforts of the industry.

Can you see the future of your business? It depends on how you look at it. "A true commitment to sustainability means not just re-evaluating current practices but innovating with future products in mind, ensuring that the entire lifecycle of a product is designed with environmental stewardship at its core. " Jillian Stacy, our Enhesa Sustainable Chemistry Business Manager, reflects on what recent fashion brands' pledges to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) means for the evolving perception of "apparel sustainability."

With 80% of harmful chemicals not listed on RSL's, its challenging for all manufacturers, let alone apparel manufacturers, to really understand the social and environmental impact of their products. That's why its so important for them to look beyond compliance towards best practices, doing what is right rather than what is mandated, if they are genuinely committing to being a sustainable brand. This also means looking at what chemicals their suppliers put into the components they provide.
