SER
All hands-on deck for better textile
SER is setting the path towards sustainable textile industry
The clothing and textile sector is facing many complex challenges… Throughout the supply chain, such as child labour and the health and safety of garment workers. To improve CSR in the textile supply chain, the Social-Economic Council facilitated an international corporate social responsibility (ICSR) covenants covenant for the sector.
Could we realize the necessary solutions together?
The objective was to realize substantial improvements for those who suffer from the negative impacts of the sector, and to come up with joint solutions, which could not have been realized by businesses alone.
Pierre Hupperts, partner at the Terrace, is the Chairman of the international CSR covenant on sustainable clothing and textile. In his role, he was responsible for the big task of facilitating talks between businesses, government, civil society organizations and trade unions. He also helped different parties reach compromises that were both realistic and ambitious and oversaw the draft of a text that reflected all the relevant issues and agreements that were made between the participants.

Sewing up a sustainable future
As Chairman, Pierre Hupperts was successful in leading the different parties to come to an agreement. This has led to the ICSR covenant on Sustainable Clothing and Textile, which was signed by over sixty clothing and textile companies. All signatories and other partners are now working to improve CSR conditions throughout the supply chain.
