Audience:
Open Industry: All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.
Description:
The upcoming open-industry Global Apparel, Footwear, & Accessories Glossary of Traceability Terms establishes a common reference point for terminology used across the apparel, footwear, and accessories industry. As supply chain transparency and traceability become increasingly important for businesses, regulators, and stakeholders, consistent definitions are critical to ensuring clear communication and alignment. This glossary is intended to guide the industry by defining key traceability-related terms and addressing terminology that may appear in existing or emerging regulations, promoting clarity, consistency, and shared understanding across the global supply chain.
The Global Apparel, Footwear, & Accessories Glossary of Traceability Terms was created by the Traceability Working Group and the Solutions Providers Advisory Group, which are comprised of representatives of the entire supply chain – from materials providers to retailers, organizations involved in the industry and/or traceability, and traceability solutions providers to the industry. The Traceability Working Group consulted with dozens of organizations representing the global supply chain, as well as the traceability initiatives in the industry, in developing the Global Apparel, Footwear, & Accessories Glossary of Traceability Terms.
This briefing will provide participants with the background that led to the creation of the Glossary of Traceability Terms, the goals of the Glossary, an overview of the contents of the Glossary, and next steps.
Call information will be provided in the "Important Event Information" section of your registration confirmation.
