EU Cuts Sustainability Regulations in Fashion Sector
The European Union has proposed the Omnibus Simplification Package, reducing sustainability reporting requirements for fashion companies. This includes an 80% decrease in firms mandated to report and limits mandatory due diligence to direct suppliers only. The proposal is now under review by the European Parliament and Council.
Why it matters:
- The reduction could diminish brands’ incentives to engage deeply in their supply chains.
- Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may face less bureaucratic burden, potentially enabling more focus on operational improvements.
- Reduced data could complicate financing decisions for sustainable investments in the supply chain.
What to do next:
- Monitor updates from EU legislative bodies on the Omnibus proposal’s progress.
- Encourage transparent supply chain practices beyond minimum legal requirements.
- Support SMEs in prioritizing tangible sustainability actions like efficiency and decarbonization.
