Open industry. All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.
Description:
After roughly three years of anti-forced labor enforcement regulation in the U.S. and Europe, visibility into the textile and apparel supply chains has become a standard for import control visibility. As methods for compliance with forced labor regulations evolve and advance, this standard for visibility is increasingly expected of importers in other contexts as well, including environmental risks and tariff-related scenarios. Join as Sayari demonstrates how the success of trade and corporate data in enhancing forced labor risk assessments can be applied to other considerations of import control compliance.
Attendees of this webinar will learn:
- How forced labor enforcement has shaped supply chain visibility standards in the textile and apparel sectors.
- How trade and corporate data can enhance compliance efforts beyond forced labor, including environmental and tariff-related risks.
- Practical strategies for applying supply chain visibility tools to broader import control requirements.
