Steering Committee

The strategic steering and further development of the Textiles Partnership is the responsibility of the Steering Committee (SC).

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

The 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 2023.

The SC meets once a year for a closed meeting to discuss the general structure and strategy of the Textile Partnership.

These are the current members of the Steering Committee:
