Opportunities provided through the collaboration include Cascale and BGMEA working together to harmonise data sharing and to promote evaluation assessments, such as Cascale’s Higg Index tools, to reduce the number of social and environmental assessments, standardising protocols for voluntary social and technical audits, thus aiming to promote transparency and minimising the burden on manufacturers and workers worldwide.

Additionally, the two organisations will explore aligning impact programs to drive industry-wide decarbonisation in line with internationally recognised targets and to collaborate on advocacy efforts to amplify manufacturers’ voices and perspectives in legislative initiatives, measures, and policy.
