The digital DUE-DILLIGENCE-PARCOUR

In their recent article for Textilwirtschaft titled “The digital DUE-DILLIGENCE-PARCOUR”, Anja Probe and Kirsten Reinhold explore the obligation for transparency in textile production and the connection between transparency and corporate responsibility.

“We are into the process chain from the beginning. During the growing season, we are present with the farmers and look after them, reports Co-CEO Simon Hohmann. His father founded the company in the late 1980s to already involve cotton farmers in a fair supply chain.»
Since 2013, Remei has been working with a QR code on the textile product and a traceability tool, that shows the textile’s path.
“The cotton is certified and goes into the ginning process. Again, we make sure that no other cotton is mixed with ours.  We then book entire production lines for the yarns. This continues right through to the ready-made garments. So we always know exactly which textile is made from which batch of cotton. We operate a really meticulous mass flow control.”
Remei can “track the organic cotton from its own organistions in Tanzania and India from the seed through 36 other production facilities to the finished garment in the shelf.”
This allows Remei’s B2B partners transparency in textile production and consumers a connection all the way back to the source.
