3.3 Raw Materials Suppliers Disclosure
About the data
Disclosing raw material suppliers shows that a brand is working to trace its whole supply chain and takes some responsibility for its direct and indirect sourcing relationships. It can help facilitate the identification and escalation of labour rights and environmental issues by trade unions, NGOs and other stakeholders directly to brands enabling them to take urgent actions to address and remediate issues raised. This is especially important beyond the first tier where brands may not be able to monitor their suppliers as easily.
A note on the scoring system
WikiRate has a standardised 10-point scoring system making it possible to compare company scores across different benchmarks. On WikiRate.org, the Fashion Transparency Index scoring system, where each company can get a maximum of 250 points, has been converted to the 10-point scoring system - with 10 being the highest a company can score and 0 being the lowest. These company scores can also be translated to percentages e.g. if a company has scored 2.5 out of 10 on WikiRate, they have achieved 25% of the 250 points in the Fashion Transparency Index.
