Levi Strauss tops Chinese environmental supply chain table
Levi Strauss, Esquel and Adidas have been ranked as the three best apparel companies when it comes to environmentally-friendly supply chain practices in China, according to the latest Corporate Information Transparency Index. The report reveals that increased environmental supervision in the country has led to a greater recognition of supply chain environmental risks by brands. However, inadequate monitoring is still hampering environmental performance in the country, the report states.

BEIJING – Newly released data from the Chinese government, online monitoring by NGO’s and corporate disclosure agreements has shown the textile industry has boosted its environmental performance in partnership with leading international brands.

However, the findings, which are reported in the 4th annual Corporate Information Transparency Index (CITI), show that although China’s strengthening of environmental supervision has prompted more brands to recognise supply chain environmental risks, insufficient monitoring capacity is still hindering companies from going green.

In the report, Levi Strauss, Esquel Group and Adidas Group were ranked the top three apparel companies for supply chain practices.
