High-end Italian fashion brand TWINSET has chosen the TrusTrace platform to help find suppliers, support eco-design initiatives, and measure the environmental impact of each product. TrusTrace is a global software as a service provider that offers a market-leading platform for product traceability and supply chain compliance in the fashion and retail industries.
“TWINSET has strengthened its dedication to tracking their supply chain in fine detail by collaborating with TrusTrace. They can now track the environmental effect of each product and have a greater understanding of where and how their clothes are made—all on a single platform,” stated Shameek Ghosh, CEO and co-founder of TrusTrace.
“We have begun implementing the TrusTrace platform as the foundation of our three-year Traceability program since signing on with TrusTrace in May 2024,” said Silvia Zaganelli, Traceability and Business Development Manager at TWINSET. Finding sub-suppliers, mapping and gathering data for important value processes, and achieving PO-level traceability are the goals of this company-wide strategic effort.
Results will be attained gradually through scaling-up over the course of a three-year timeline, eventually tracing the entire spectrum of product categories and providers. Finding the country of origin of the material, controlling supply-chain risks like forced labor, and enabling eco-design by evaluating the product’s environmental impact are the main goals. TrusTrace teamed up with Peftrust, a top life cycle assessment (LCA) solution, to support the environmental impact project. Peftrust provides the most accurate PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) scoring by feeding traceability data straight into the LCA solution.
In particular, this strategic initiative has assisted TWINSET in getting ready for new regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which mandates that businesses report on their social and environmental impact, and Digital Product Passports (DPPs), which will be required for textiles sold in Europe by 2030.
