Recherchetool für Materialien Sustainable textiles. A question of responsibility More than 75 million people worldwide work in the apparel industry, mainly women in developing countries. In textile factories, women without training in particular receive their own income for the first time. The textile industry can thus be an engine for economic development. At the same time, there is still a huge need for action to protect human rights and comply with the most basic social and environmental standards. Germany is the second largest importer of clothing in the world. If more and more customers attach importance to sustainably produced clothing, they can make an important contribution to improving social and environmental conditions in the producing countries. The brochure informs about the challenges of the globalised textile industry and presents various measures taken by the BMZ, including the Alliance for Sustainable Textiles, the Green Button, cooperation with the BMZ partner countries, strengthening corporate responsibility and public procurement.
