How Falk&Ross helps you to stay compliant Sustainability without stress
You’ve heard it a hundred times: the textile industry has a big role to play in building a more sustainable future. But here’s the question: why should you bother? Because sustainability is no longer just the “right thing” to do. It’s quickly becoming the business- smart thing to do. And soon, it will simply be the only thing to do.
M aking sustainability efforts is not an option anymore, it’s a must. The European Union (EU) is rapidly introducing strict sustainability legislation and a wave of new regulations is set to reshape the market. Some laws are already in place, while many more will come into effect over the next few years. This means that resellers can only offer products that meet the new sustainability criteria. In practice, you will become jointly responsible for what you buy and sell. We’re here to help As an essential link in a long supply chain, Falk&Ross will help you tackle these new standards. How, you ask? The progress towards becoming a more sustainable partner means many things at Falk&Ross. It goes beyond choosing eco-friendly products. In fact, by improving the standards across our entire supply chain, we’re creating a sustainability ecosystem for both our clients and partners worldwide. And, because we’re committed to doing this in the best possible way, we’re currently pursuing the most
comprehensive sustainability certification available.
The first step: a common ESG Framework
Today, sustainability is shaped by ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles. To ensure all our brands under- stand and apply the European ESG stan- dards, we’re working towards a shared ESG framework. Currently, around 50% of our brands are compliant. The other half is working closely with our sustainability team to reach the same level. Implementing these standards across multiple continents is challenging, but bridging the gaps is a task our experienced sustainability team has confidently taken on. With tailored guidance and close collaboration, we’re getting closer to our goal every single day. By working together in this fast-changing sustainability landscape, we help your business stay fully compliant with EU regulations when you buy from us. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted on new developments, in Europe and at Falk&Ross.
