Environmental Stewardship in the Textile
Supply Chain
Supply Chain under the microscope
• Suppliers are overwhelmed with requirements / audits / certifications, etc.…
• …but nobody helps with the implementation
• VAUDE offers long-term & strategic material suppliers "empowerment" / helps to help themselves for the introduction of an operational environmental management system
• Raising awareness for their own benefits through more environmental protection and better working conditions

Increasing demands on suppliers.However, they partly do not know how to implement the requirements.VAUDE therefore pursues a path to consistent empowerment!
Environmental Stewardship in the Textile
Supply Chain
High potential risk due to lack of transparency. Often the local suppliers do not have the necessary technical knowledge.
