Towards a Sustainable Textile Industry

The Partnership for Sustainable Textiles (Bündnis für nachhaltige Textilien in German) was established in October 2014 by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). This multi-stakeholder initiative aims to significantly improve sustainability across the global textile industry by fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, including companies, trade unions, NGOs, and governments.

Objectives and Focus Areas
The partnership seeks to:

  • Ensure Fair Working Conditions: Protecting human rights and promoting fair labor practices in the textile supply chain.
  • Promote Environmental Stewardship: Reducing the environmental impact of textile production through eco-friendly practices and sustainable resource use.
  • Enhance Supply Chain Transparency: Increasing transparency and enforcing due diligence to uphold social and environmental standards.
By sharing best practices and driving collective action, the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles aims to transform the textile industry into a more sustainable and ethical sector.
