The collaboration between TextileGenesis, a fashion and textile traceability platform affiliated with the Lectra Group and the International Cotton Association (ICA), is anticipated to enhance industry practices within the fashion and textile sector.
The technology developed by TextileGenesis is meant to enable the comprehensive tracing of the sustainable textile supply chain by digitally mapping the materials involved. The platform allows for seamless interchange and meticulous monitoring of dependable and secure data over the entire lifespan of materials, thereby significantly contributing to fostering a more sustainable and transparent industry.
The traceability method, which demonstrates innovation, encompasses both the initial and final stages of the textile value chain. This mechanism is reinforced by a network of partners specializing in fabric certification.
The collaboration between TextileGenesis and the ICA entails disseminating information to all stakeholders in the cotton supply chain, notifying them of the possibility of engaging in business with a company that the ICA has flagged as posing safety concerns.
According to Amit Gautam, the CEO and founder of TextileGenesis, the International Cotton Association (ICA) holds a prominent position as a global trade association in the cotton industry. The ICA actively participates in various aspects of the value chain, particularly in resolving trade disputes through arbitration. This involvement grants them unique insights into companies that fail to fulfil their obligations in arbitration proceedings.
TextileGenesis considers it a fundamental element of risk metrics that they notify their users about. The International Cotton Association (ICA) collaborates closely with prominent cotton standards organizations, fostering further synergistic effects through our partnerships.
