    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.  This collaboration enables individual companies to focus more resources on product and process innovation.  Credible, practical, and universal standards and tools for defining and measuring environmental and social performance support the individual interests of all stakeholders.
