TrusTrace Reports Early Adoption of One Retail Hub for Supply Chain Compliance
TrusTrace has reported early adoption of its One Retail Hub platform, introduced to support supply chain compliance across the fashion industry. Within seven weeks of launch, participating brands have reported significant reductions in time spent on compliance reporting.
TrusTrace announced early traction for One Retail Hub, a free platform designed to streamline supply chain compliance processes for fashion brands. The platform enables brands to manage and share compliance data across multiple retail partners through a unified digital system.
According to the company, brands using One Retail Hub have reported average time savings of 70% in compliance reporting, as the platform reduces the need to respond to multiple, separate data requests from different retailers.
As regulatory requirements such as HREDD, CSRD, and EUDR increase, brands are required to demonstrate supply chain accountability across various retail partnerships. One Retail Hub provides a shared infrastructure that allows brands to complete a single assessment and share it across participating retailers. The platform was developed in collaboration with seven retailers, including Zalando, Boozt, ASOS, and ABOUT YOU. It is available free of charge for brands of all sizes.
“One Retail Hub is exactly what the industry needs. The interface is intuitive, and the AI's ability to draw directly from your existing compliance documentation means you're working from a single source of truth rather than rebuilding answers from scratch each time,” said Fanny Ekholm, CSR Manager, Didriksons.
“Alignment is the way forward to streamline Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence across the apparel and footwear industry. One Retail Hub is a great response to that,” said Charlotte Risskov Kræfting, Sustainability Reporting and Communication Responsible, ECCO. “The answers to compliance questions already exist in your documentation. One Retail Hub's AI finds them for you rather than asking you to reconstruct them from scratch. That is what makes this a genuine time-saver and why adoption feels intuitive rather than effortful.”
The platform is based on the Retailer Brand Due Diligence Questionnaire, a standardized HREDD self-assessment framework informed by OECD guidance and developed with input from Cascale and Fair Wear.
One Retail Hub integrates four key functions: a unified assessment framework, AI-assisted completion, multi-retailer data sharing, and gap analysis with improvement guidance. The AI component enables automatic population of responses based on existing documentation, reducing completion time from three to four weeks per retailer to approximately four to six days.
“By working directly with brands and retailers, we’ve created a platform that streamlines and strengthens due diligence. One Retail Hub consolidates information in one place, makes smarter use of data brands already hold, and meaningfully reduces administrative effort. It’s a strong example of how effective collaboration can deliver a smoother brand experience and drive better alignment across the industry,” said Jodie Leek, Head of ESG, ASOS.
The company stated that the platform reflects a shift toward shared digital systems for compliance management as regulatory expectations increase globally.
“One Retail Hub is enabling a total transformation of the fashion ecosystem when it comes to data,” said David Reiner, Ethical Sourcing Lead at Zalando and Project Manager for One Retail Hub. “By making this easily accessible, free of cost, we ensure that progress isn't a competitive advantage, but a shared industry standard. The early adoption validates that the industry was ready for this infrastructure shift.”
TrusTrace and participating retailers have invited fashion and footwear brands to adopt the platform, with onboarding support available. Brands can also integrate One Retail Hub with TrusTrace’s enterprise platform for extended supply chain traceability.
“One Retail Hub demonstrates what’s possible when industry leaders invest in shared infrastructure rather than proprietary solutions. By building a unified platform for HREDD data exchange, we’re eliminating the duplicative reporting burden that has strained suppliers and brands alike, especially SMEs. The early adoption we’re seeing proves the market is ready for standardization, and everyone can benefit from this, completely free of charge,” said Hrishikesh Rajan, CGO and Co-Founder of TrusTrace.
