ITMF calls for brands to cooperate with suppliers

摘要

The International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) has called for brands and retailers to "act responsibly and sustainably" in their relations with textile manufacturers and suppliers amid the crisis caused by Covid-19.In a statement released on 20 May, the ITMF, which has members in almost 60 countries, said that the coronavirus pandemic "has revealed how extended the textile value chain is, from producing fibres to the finished consumer products offered by brands and retailers around the world. Fibres can be produced in one country, yarns spun in another; fabrics are woven or knitted yet in another country before the final garment is sewn and shipped across continents."
