TrusTrace, according to a global software as a service (SaaS) company that dominates the market for product traceability and supply chain compliance in the fashion and retail industries, the luxury Italian fashion brand TWINSET has selected the TrusTrace platform to assist in locating suppliers, promote eco-design initiatives, and assess the environmental impact of each product.
“TWINSET has strengthened its dedication to tracking their supply chain in fine detail by collaborating with TrusTrace. With just one platform, people can now track the environmental effect of each product and have a greater understanding of where and how their clothes are made,” stated Shameek Ghosh, CEO and co-founder of TrusTrace.
Since joining TrusTrace in May 2024, Silvia Zaganelli, Traceability and Business Development Manager at TWINSET, stated, “We have started implementing the TrusTrace platform as the foundation of our three-year Traceability program.” This company-wide strategic endeavor aims to achieve PO-level traceability, map and collect data for critical value processes, and identify sub-suppliers.
With a three-year roadmap, results will be reached progressively by scaling-up to ultimately trace the full range of product categories and suppliers. Key objectives are to identify material country of origin, manage supply-chain risk such as forced labour, and enable eco-design by assessing the environmental impact of the product. To support the environmental impact initiative, TrusTrace partnered with a leading life cycle assessment (LCA) solution Peftrust, which feeds traceability data directly to the LCA solution to get the most precise PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) scoring.
This strategic initiative has especially helped support TWINSET to prepare for incoming regulations such as Digital Product Passports (DPPs) which will be mandatory on textiles sold in Europe by 2030, as well as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to report on their environmental and social impact.
