Results from the company survey Sustainable Textile Purchasing

Textiles are often produced under inhumane conditions. In addition to inhumane working conditions, enormous water consumption, chemicals in rivers and high CO2 emissions also make textiles a highly critical product from an ecological point of view. The joint project #Fair Wear Works by GNF and FEMNET aims to raise the awareness of managers, employees and apprentices in companies about the social and ecological relevance of responsible textile purchasing.

In order to record the current state of textile procurement in German companies, GNF and FEMNET conducted a survey in the second half of 2020. The aim was to determine the need for support offers for companies in order to be able to offer suitable training modules and information materials as part of the further project work. The results of the company survey on sustainable textile purchasing are compiled in the factsheet. It turns out that although the majority of companies already buy sustainable textiles, they do so rather sporadically.
