ESG: Embracing Sustainable Fashion and Social Justice for a Better World
The fashion world is changing fast with ESG values at the helm, driven by conscious customers and regulations. Brands are weaving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their core. ESG isn't just about rules & it's about meeting customer desires and global standards. Brands, big and small, need supply chain transparency not just to stay out of trouble, but to shine in a shifting market But, ESG's path isn't easy. Complex supply chains hide transparency, and sustainability clashes with production. There's also the risk of "greenwashing," where authenticity is tested. That's where Inflow steps in, empowering brands to adopt integrity and responsibility in every stage of fashion production.
