As the year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on one of the highlights of 2024—bringing a big part of our team together in person at our Düsseldorf HQ for our Holiday party! 🌟 Being a remote-first company, it’s not every day that we get to see so many of our colleagues face-to-face. With teammates from all over the world, speaking more than 26 languages, our diversity is something we’re incredibly proud of. From Germany to Brazil, India to Mexico, and many countries in between, our global team truly embodies collaboration without borders. 💚 This year, we shared ideas, strengthened connections, and enjoyed a fun-filled week of team activities. It was a reminder that while we may work remotely, our sense of togetherness is always strong. 💪 Here’s to continuing our mission in 2025, with the same passion and teamwork that made 2024 so special. Happy Holidays from all of us at Retraced! #RemoteFirst #DiversityAndInclusion #HappyHolidays

The EU has officially adopted the Forced Labour Regulation, setting a precedent for eradicating forced labor from global supply chains. What does this mean for businesses? 👉 Products made with forced labor are banned from the EU market. 👉 A unified enforcement framework ensures accountability across member states. 👉 No new due diligence obligations—this builds on existing standards like the CSDDD. Swipe through to see the key takeaways and how your business can prepare. #HumanRightsDay #SupplyChainTransparency #ForcedLabourBan #SustainableBusiness

What does it really take to build a supply chain that goes beyond compliance? Last week at ISPO we sat down with industry experts to explore the practical steps outdoor, fashion and textile brands can take to move past the basics and create meaningful change. You can watch the recording now! Meet the Panelists: 👉 Nick Allen, Director of Transparency at Patagonia 👉 Bettina Roth, Head of Quality Management & CSR Supply Chain at VAUDE 👉 Barbara Oswald Bader, Chief Commercial Officer at bluesign technologies ag 👉 Philipp G. Mayer, CPO & Co-Founder of Retraced In this conversation, our experts explore how they move beyond mere compliance to foster genuine sustainability, how they are overcoming challenges in embedding ethical practices and share real-world experiences and lessons learned Watch the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eHaDxP_T #SupplyChainTransparency #OutdoorApparel #SustainableFashion #ISPOMunich2024

Thank you for the invitation to contribute to the Brand Retail Forum in Brussels Cascale, where industry leaders came together to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape shaping the textile sector. Representing Retraced, our Director of Partnerships Roman Houlbreque and ESG Legislation & Policy Expert Daniele Seiffert shared insights on how brands can navigate these changes effectively. Here are a few highlights we took away: 👉 Data Integration is Key: Aligning reporting frameworks (e.g., ESPR, CSRD, and Green Claims) requires standardized, interoperable data systems to enable seamless compliance across the value chain. 👉 Traceability is the Foundation: Beyond just meeting legal requirements, traceability empowers brands to create transparent, resilient supply chains that deliver reliable information to consumers. 👉 Collaboration Overload: Striking the balance between fair contribution and operational feasibility is essential, particularly for SMEs. Policymakers and businesses must work together to streamline requests and set realistic expectations. We left inspired by the actionable approaches discussed and look forward to supporting our partners in adapting to this new era of responsibility. Let’s transform compliance into a competitive advantage. #ESG #TextileInnovation #Sustainability #Regulations #SupplyChainTransparency

Proud to share that Roman Houlbreque joined the #G7 Alliance for Resource Efficiency in Rome this week to give an impulse on how we can collectively tackle the challenge of transparency and circularity along the value chain. The focus? Developing voluntary standards that make it easier to share sustainability and circularity data across the textile and fashion value chains. Why does this matter? Because clear, aligned data sharing is essential for driving a circular economy — eliminating duplication, dismantling data silos, and enabling market-scale data access to enhance traceability and transparency for businesses of all sizes. Through collaboration with stakeholders — including brands, manufacturers, suppliers, traceability platforms, and associations like United Nations Economic Commission for Europe — we must work toward global alignment on sustainability metrics. The goal? Enabling a scalable, circular textile economy that benefits businesses, consumers, and the planet alike. We’re excited to see where this leads. Transparency is just the beginning! #CircularEconomy #SustainaibleFashion #SupplyChainTransparency #G7Agenda #FashionForChange
