EU Eases Sustainability Reporting Rules for Fashion Industry
The European Union introduced the Omnibus Simplification Package in February, aiming to reduce bureaucracy and boost competitiveness. It proposes cutting sustainability reporting requirements for large companies by 80% and limits mandatory due diligence mainly to direct business partners. The package is now under review by the European Parliament and Council, with further negotiations expected.
Why it matters:
- Reducing reporting may ease burdens on small and medium suppliers who face costly audits.
- Critics worry it could weaken oversight of social and environmental impacts beyond direct suppliers.
- The change could affect access to funding and influence brands’ commitment to supply chain sustainability.
What to do next:
- Monitor developments in EU sustainability regulations.
- Evaluate your company’s transparency and reporting processes to align with new rules.
- Continue internal sustainability efforts to meet brand and financial partner expectations.
