The Steering Committee is the central decision-making body in the Textile Alliance. This is stipulated in the rules of cooperation (DE and EN) as a binding basis for the work of the partnership.

The steering committee is composed of twelve representatives of the stakeholder groups business, federal government, non-governmental organisations, standard organisations and trade unions. The twelve SC members are elected by the members every two years. The last election took place in 2021.

In its meetings, the Steering Committee decides, among other things, on membership applications and new projects. Once a year, the SC meets for a closed meeting to discuss the general structure and strategy of the Textile Partnership.
