Ep. 114: Supply chain data transparency
The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks to Natalie Grillon CEO and executive director of Open Supply Hub.
Open Supply Hub (OS Hub) is a non-profit platform creating accessible global supply chain maps to support upcoming due diligence measures. Recently OS Hub announced a series of multi stakeholder initiatives to encourage members to share supply chain data on the platform.
OS Hub shows where global production locations are and who is connected to them and makes that data easy for anyone to work with. The ambition is to collectively map all of the world’s production locations, transforming supply chain ecosystems for the 100+ m people working in them.
In episode 114 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak to CEO and executive director Natalie Grillon about the ambitions and development of OS Hub.
Starting with the fashion and apparel sector, Grillon details what is driving this desire and need for transparency in supply chains. She touches upon how OS Hub is enabling brands and manufacturers to access the information and how she is supporting global regulations and legislation.
