Responsible Raw Materials Purchasing for the Apparel Industry

  • A responsible chain of custody relies on timely, accurate and complete data submitted by stakeholders at every tier of the supply chain. This means that raw material producers, apparel and homeware manufacturers, and distributors need to maintain a continuous open communication channel. Sourcemap achieves this through a secure enterprise social network which prompts each stakeholder to enter key data only when necessary, and provides automated feedback to make sure that each participant is compliant at all times.

  • Sourcemap hosts an automated solution for chain of custody assurance in line with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) and Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) including product-level data from ERP reconciled against certificates from issuing authorities.

  • With supply often surpassing demand Organic Cotton stands to make significant strides through a continuous assurance process driven by supply chain transparency to the end consumer - something Sourcemap has built-in for progressive traders and brands who want to make their products stand out. Our program covers all of your workflow needs for Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) or Organic Content Standard (OCS).

  • Recycled polymers complying with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) or Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) need chain-of-custody assurance to ensure they are coming from post-industrial and post-consumer feedstock, something Sourcemap provides through a combination of assurance workflows and fraud detection.
