The EU response towards more sustainable garment value chains
As a major contributor to the economy in many countries, garment value chains can support growth, jobs and competitiveness globally. Ensuring that economic growth and development go hand in hand with social justice, decent work and environmental protection in the complex and fragmented production networks of garment value chains is a key objective, in line with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The focus is on three thematic priorities:
Economic empowerment of women I Decent work and living wages I Transparency and traceability
