To drive change and eradicate the environmental impact of fashion and building, countries including Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago have joined forces.
The six-year, US $ 45-million project was started by governments taking part in the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded Integrated Programme on Eliminating Hazardous Chemicals from Supply Chains with the goal of changing the supply chains in their building and fashion industries.
Among the industries with the highest chemical usage worldwide are fashion and construction. These industries link worldwide producers, retailers, and consumers and are distinguished by intricate, dispersed global supply chains that have a substantial global influence.
This ambitious six-year program was revealed during a recent launch ceremony in Cambodia. Throughout the supply chain, the initiative will promote advancements in innovation, policy, stakeholder involvement, and financing availability.
Every phase of the two supply chains is to be transformed by the program. The establishment of a global Program Advisory Group will guarantee alignment with current activities and partners.
