Sustainability has been an often-used buzzword this year, especially for the fashion industry. The industry is estimated to be responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions according to the United Nations. COP26 saw large global apparel companies making public pledges towards reducing their carbon emissions.
One organisation that is walking the talk is Lever Style, a global company that offers a wide range of services for apparel design, development and manufacturing. Their clients include some of the world’s largest apparel brands and retailers such as Stitch Fix, Rag & Bone, Paul Smith, Hugo Boss, Theory, Fila and many more.
With such diverse international clientele, they naturally pride themselves on quality. At the same time, it was important that they had full transparency into their customer and supplier base. With over 70 manufacturing and supplier relationships spanning Asia, and clients worldwide, this was not an easy task for them to manage on their own.
