The Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s vision and purpose are based on a set of shared beliefs that:
The environmental and social challenges around the global apparel supply system affect the entire industry.
These challenges reflect systemic issues which no individual company can solve on their own.
Pre-competitive collaboration can accelerate improvement in environmental and social performance for the industry as a whole and reduce cost for individual companies.
