Fashion Industry Faces Regulatory Overhaul as New Laws Demand Transparency and Accountability in Sustainability Claims

Fashion’s New Era: Clearer Sustainability Rules

Global fashion is facing stricter regulations on sustainability claims. The European Union and New York have introduced laws requiring brands to provide verified data instead of vague promises. Terms like ‘circularity’ and ‘net-zero’ now have legally binding definitions and require transparency.

Why it matters:

• Brands must trace and disclose full supply chains.
• Legal mandates replace voluntary green claims.
• Third-party certifications become essential for credibility.

What to do next:

• Review and verify all sustainability claims.
• Invest in traceable and transparent material sourcing.
• Seek recognized certifications to meet compliance standards.
