Our focus topics

With the focus topics, the Textile Partnership adresses central problems in the global textile industry. These include low wages, high resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, gender-specific violence and discrimination, as well as the frequent lack of safe and effective ways to draw attention to grievances in the workplace.

There is a reference framework of international guidelines and initiatives for each focus topic. It provides orientation in terms of content and sets out the desired targets and implementation steps. In addition, there are “Individual Commitments” from the member companies: Using standardized indicators, each member can measure progress in the focus topics individually and the Partnership as a whole. And last but not least, the members jointly implement projects that make a measurable contribution to achieving the goals formulated in the reference framework of the respective focus topics.
