There Are Pollution In The Supply Chain Environment Of 47 Garment Brands.

A few days ago, the second phase of green selection Textile Research Report released 49.

The environmental performance of its raw material suppliers in China pointed out that a large number of large garment brands had significant defects in their environmental management in China's supply chain.

In response, Wang Jingjing, deputy director of the public environment research center, told the Securities Daily reporter: among the 49 well-known brand clothing enterprises, 47 suppliers of brand clothing enterprises have found pollution problems. Only the suppliers of the two enterprises of Burberry and Yida have not found any pollution problems.

In April 2012, a number of environmental protection organizations of the green choice alliance began to talk with 49 Chinese and foreign clothing brands, asking whether they knew the environmental performance of the supply chain including dyeing and finishing suppliers.

Since then, 30 companies have communicated with NGO.

Since then, the green select alliance has written to 49 brands again in September 25, 2012. As of October 7, 2012, a total of 17 enterprises have responded to this.

According to environmental protection organizations, H&M, NIKE, Yida, WAL-MART, Levi's, Adidas, Burberry, Gap and other 17 brands are generally active.

In terms of material supplier management, only 6 brands such as NIKE, Yida, Adidas, H&M, Reaves and Burberry have carried out environmental management of dyeing and finishing suppliers, while other brands still need to extend management to this link.

In addition to the above 17 enterprises, there are still 22 negative performance.

Among them, 19 did not make any response, and the 3 only made a perfunctory response.

In the 19 companies that did not respond, including Disney, Polo Ralph Lauren, 31st degree, Kappa, Anta, Messi general merchandise, Armani, Calvin Klein, Carrefour and other businesses and brands.

Seen from the above surveys, different

There are different ways to deal with the problem of supplier pollution.

In addition to not responding to such a blind attitude, other brands have taken a passive approach.

According to environmental protection organizations, Martha, the largest multinational business retail group in the United Kingdom, has replied that it may check and verify all kinds of concerns that may be raised. Therefore, these requirements may be solved. However, the environmental protection organization's investigation indicates that there are still some pollution problems in the supplier of Mazabeth goods, the textile and dyeing Co., Ltd., and the photos of serious pollution of the Dou Tang Cun River, which are separated from the river just from the Qing Dynasty, are also photographed.

In China, due to the weak environmental supervision and the difficulty of environmental litigation, the illegal cost is lower than the law-abiding cost, and the price of water and other resources is low, which results in the lack of energy saving and pollution reducing power for dyeing and finishing enterprises.

Ma Jun believes that there is a big problem that the low ratio of reuse of waste water is mainly due to limited profits and no motivation for enterprises.

The two links, printing and dyeing and finishing, account for 80% of the textile wastewater and 12% of chemical fiber production. Therefore, the proportion of low added value accounts for a high proportion. In this way, enterprises have adopted the least cost way to pursue profits.

At present, the low price of water in our country makes it easier for enterprises to use new tap water and do not use circulating waste water, mainly because the new water is much cheaper than using circulating wastewater.

With the environmental protection department evaluation, China's energy and resource utilization efficiency is 2 times lower than that of the developed countries.

Environmental organizations believe that in the face of such a situation, the Chinese government needs to strengthen supervision, and the Chinese society needs to strengthen supervision.

International and domestic brands that purchase large quantities of products also have the responsibility to strengthen environmental management of suppliers, so as to avoid damage to their environment and communities by outsourcing production.
