SUSTAINABLE SOURCING IS THE WAY FORWARD
Manage your social and environmental compliance with Us
In the wake of changing consumption patterns, the fashion industry is getting a revamp. Conventional supply chains and manufacturing approaches are not the best approach to the renewable, sustainable goods favoured by consumers, employees, investors, and regulators. THE SOURCING PARTNER has a comprehensive framework to improve sustainability in fashion.
We aim to enable our clients to source more sustainably by integrating a wide portfolio of industry-relevant certificate supplier/factory audits. It is now very important that brands look at all angles of their business—especially the way they function and the core values—to make sure sustainability is practiced, deal with climate change, and promote ethical business practices.
As sustainability and transparency have become key drivers for the apparel industry’s way forward, these partnerships offer completely new methods in which brands and buyers can discover certified factories and ensure they are safely and efficiently compliant.
Companies need to be more aware of the social, environmental and economical impact they have and should be more aware of their Ecological footprint. We’re on a mission to transform the way the world’s products are made. Supply chains have been global for years, but finding the right manufacturer—and bringing a physical product to life in a sustainable way—is incredibly difficult, even for the world’s biggest brands.
We work together with clients to set goals. We then define an operating model that will help them meet those goals.

The fact that good or bad sourcing can make or break a company can make sourcing daunting and exhausting to do on our own. Without the right knowledge, understanding, and experience of dealing with suppliers and factories, Sourcing can easily go wrong. Every year we encounter so many brands who had the unfortunate fate of trusting the wrong supplier, factory, or sourcing company.
Working with the right supplier who understands your needs and the goals of your brands makes the process a million times easier. But finding the right supplier isn’t the easiest since the market is saturated with millions of factories and suppliers. Having someone reputable, knowledgeable, and experienced by your side when making the choice can help by providing you with the right guidance and can also read and understand how a supplier is.
Especially for brands who want to have an ethical and sustainable approach, it is so easy to scam brands into believing what the factory wants them to believe. With sustainability in fashion industry becoming an extremely talked-about and sensitive topic, Most companies, Brands, and consumers are not willing to compromise on any aspect and expect no ethical and moral margins of error. Many sourcing companies claim to be sustainable and market themselves as ethical fashion frontrunners, but it is important to understand that sustainability isn’t just a marketing strategy or a trending keyword on Instagram, it is a way of life. It needs to be incorporated at every step of the supply chain and not just during promotions. There are so many misleading definitions of what sustainable sourcing means. Let us clarify the basics before moving on to more specific things.
