Chinese NGOs aim at pollution by major garment brands

This process of disclosure and engagement the Green Choice Alliance has embarked upon with garment and textile companies will take time to show results. Not all firms are as forward-thinking as Nike, which last year launched an action plan to eliminate hazardous chemicals from its supply chain by 2020.

It is safe to assume, however, that with the Alliance on their back (and its reports being covered by the official organ of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee), more firms will start to follow Nike’s lead.
