Intertek test service company is a company providing safety services for the textile industry. DavidHorlock, vice president of the company, said that the more multinational clothing brands and retailers are supervising the supply chain, forcing textile companies to comply with social and environmental norms.

But manufacturers in South Asian countries still lack social responsibility in pursuit of greater international market share.

The vice president of the company is responsible for global inspections and audits. He believes that regional export industries are becoming increasingly unsustainable.

The important thing is to establish identity, a real factory, a real machine and a real person.

He said that global retailers need to ask their suppliers four questions: who are you? Where are you? What do you produce? And (most importantly) can you trust? Trust means product quality, safety, social responsibility and environmental protection.

He said that many developing countries, including China, Bangladesh, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia, lack strong enforcement agencies.

Therefore, no one inspected the exploitation of workers.

But over the years, brands have already solved these problems.

Working conditions improved considerably over 10 years ago.

Health and safety, dormitories, toilets, infrastructure, changing jobs and wages have been improved.

However, there are still many unfinished tasks for stakeholders, such as government, direct importers, employees and society.

He said that there is indeed a pollution problem in Asia.

Output is exported to the United States, where the local Pearl River is polluted.

Recently, more than 300 factories in China have closed because of pollution.

The western world is implementing relevant rules because they have gone through them before.

Western brands do not want the 4 billion 500 million Asian people to commit similar mistakes during the great industrial revolution.

Pollution control is a more urgent task, he said.

It took more than 200 years for the British Thames River to turn pollution around!

Thailand

When the industrial revolution began in the late 70s, inland water began to turn black.

Fortunately, due to environmental protection awareness, Thailand's water has regained its vitality.

The factory has a responsibility to ensure that they do business in a responsible way.

The problem is sustainability and the vitality of the ecosystem.

Only 3% of our water is fresh, of which 1% is available, so we must protect it.

If the management is not carried out according to the way of re responsibility, the printing and dyeing plant is a potential high risk environmental pollution source.

Recently, non-governmental organizations have begun to focus on irresponsible water polluting enterprises and brands, and their manufacturing enterprises will be held accountable.
