Textile Exchange: Building Integrity

In Textile Exchange’s worldview, integrity is the cornerstone of making true and meaningful change, and transparency and verification are the tools to make it a reality. Textile Exchange tries offer many layers of learning to affect long lasting change: in-person and online learning opportunities, an evolving suite of standards, guides and tools that focus on different facets of both product and industry integrity, and now, as their newest offering, case studies that highlight companies who have successfully embedded integrity into their business practices.

Building Integrity is a series of case studies intended to provide practical examples of certification systems. By highlighting the work of companies with strong systems of integrity, powered by certification, Textile Exchange hopes to encourage wider use of standards to support product claims. They will be pairing these case studies with several webinars, giving you the opportunity to hear directly from their integrity experts and several companies featured in the series. The first company in their series is prAna, which has relied on verification through the use of standards for three years.
