The STTI Survey of Commercial Compliance is Open for Ratings

Suppliers are invited to participate in the Sustainable Terms of Trade Initiative (STTI) survey of commercial compliance. Driven by 15 apparel manufacturing associations from 11 countries, STTIs' objective is to deliver a major contribution towards purchasing practices that allow textile and garment manufacturers to run a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable operation.

Suppliers are invited to participate in the Sustainable Terms of Trade Initiative (STTI) survey of commercial compliance.

The survey is open now, and runs until mid-January 2023.

STTI is led by Better Buying Institute along with STAR Network and the International Apparel Federation. Driven by 15 apparel manufacturing associations from 11 countries, its objective is to deliver a major contribution towards purchasing practices that allow textile and garment manufacturers to run a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable operation.

This survey invites suppliers to evaluate each of their buyer companies’ commercial compliance against a number of key recommendations set out by STTI during its initial phase, and based on the input gathered from global textile and garment manufacturers and industry associations.

The survey is a shorter, simpler version of a baseline survey of commercial compliance which ran last year, and has been designed so as to make it as quick and easy as possible for suppliers to participate.

Responses will help track brand and retailer progress throughout the STTI project. All feedback is completely anonymous.
