The Sustainable Apparel Coali3on
Tool developed and being trialled: Higg Index 1.0: “An indicator based tool for apparel that enables companies to evaluate material types, products, facili3es and processes based on a range of environmental and product design choices. The Index asks prac3ce-‐based, qualita3ve ques3ons to gauge environmental sustainability performance and drive behavior for improvement.”
The Sustainable Apparel Coali3on
Pros: • Raises bar for companies • Mechanism for dialogue with
NGOs • Creates collabora3on and
sharing for new tools, processes and result sharing
Cons: • What about all those non-‐
branded goods? • Does it just increase the gap
between the leaders and the rest?
• Does it help legal enforcement in China, India etc?

Conclusions and Future Trends
• B2B collabora3on driven by the sheer scale of sustainability challenge
• By need to "normalise" sustainable behaviour in supply chains and markets
Conclusions and Future Trends
“Changing every product, factory and raw material source in your supply chain and encouraging every customer to consume differently defies the ability of even the largest business alone”
(Mike Barry, Head of Sustainable Business, Marks & Spencer)
Conclusions and Future Trends (cont)
• The new economy will also be horizontal, not ver3cal. This requires new alliances/partnerships
• Tradi3onal barriers between industrial sectors will break down as a circular economy forms
Conclusions and Future Trends (cont)
• Expect more collabora3on around commodi3es. No single business purchases enough volume to shin the market alone (Palm Oil, Soy, Cogon)
• There will be greater collabora3on around waste and raw materials. One company will seek to convert waste into another company’s raw materials and vice versa
Conclusions and Future Trends (cont)
• Technology sector is also likely to witness greater business to business collabora3on
• Mobile phone technology, for example, can offer the solu3ons to other industrial sectors’ sustainability challenges. Supply chain transparency may be just one of these areas
