OECD Forum | Parallel Session: Responsible Supply Chains in MENA & Türkiye - launch of the OECD’s garment and footwear sector capacity building programme

The five participating countries in a new regional OECD programme on RBC – Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, and Türkiye – exported $51.9 billion in textile, garments, and footwear in 2022, forming a substantial portion of their exports. While businesses are developing initiatives to foster responsible supply chains, important gaps in implementing and mainstreaming risk-based approaches based on common standards remain. This session will launch a year-long capacity-building activity to support garment and footwear businesses working in or from the region to improve their understanding of, and capacity to conduct, risk-based due diligence to build supply chain resilience, manage uncertainty and drive long-term value.
