The Asia Garment Hub is celebrating its 2nd anniversary and we wanted to let our members have their say.

In 2023, the Asia Garment Hub has continued to grow. Currently, you can find up-to-date facts and figures about the garment and textiles sector for 12 countries, including 8 focus themes such as Due Diligence and Purchasing Practices. More than 200 people have already registered on the Hub.

We asked some of our members which features they value most and how the Hub serves their purposes. Not yet a member of the Asia Garment Hub? Register here in just a few steps.

Youngran Hur, Programme Management Officer, UN Environment Programme

"I not only use the Hub to find industry events and the latest information on different thematic and geographical areas in the region, but also to share relevant resources and events through member contribution function. Also, the Hub is a great partner to work with its multi-stakeholder membership across Asia’s textile value chain. Most recently, UNEP worked with the Hub to co-organize the Fashion Industry Target Consultation for Asia and the Pacific region where its members greatly contributed. My favourite feature of the Hub is ‘Member News’ function where members can share their upcoming events and relevant resources and materials through the Hub with the members as well as the wider public. This feature makes the Hub more interactive and richer in information. Another favourite function is the ‘Themes’ category that looks at the garment sector through different lenses from the economic, social and environmental dimensions. This enables a deeper and more sophisticated understanding of how Asia’s garment sector is evolving."
