One day out! Tomorrow, Kristen Oliver and Eric Goldner open Cascale’s Responsible Purchasing Practices Learning Series, exploring how sourcing, costing, planning, and forecasting decisions work together to shape margin, business performance, and outcomes for suppliers.

Drawing on their commercial experience, they’ll connect upstream decisions to their downstream financial and operational impact and set the stage for the rest of the series:

🎙️ October 28: Rafael Ortega on the role of merchandising in commercial decision-making
🎙️ November 3: Decent Work Community of Practice Meeting, connecting the series back to the Common Framework for Responsible Purchasing Practices and Better Buying

Tomorrow’s session is live only and will not be recorded, so join us in real time.

We’re excited to have recently welcomed three new members, spanning raw materials, manufacturing, and supply chain services. Welcome to the Cascale community NATIVA, RSJ Inspection Service Limited, and 3S Apparel!

They join more than 300 corporate and affiliate members working to turn shared sustainability ambitions into measurable progress at scale. As regulatory expectations rise and resources stay tight, collective action offers a faster path to results than any single company can achieve alone.

What does it take to move from compliance to real change across global supply chains?

Earlier this month, Cascale’s Howard Kwong, Senior Manager, Public Affairs, APAC, explored that question with graduate students at the Yale School of the Environment. He joined resident fellow Michelle Gabriel’s course on transforming fashion and textile value chains for a coffee chat and guest lecture.

Howard shared insights from our policy work and Annual Meeting in Athens, covering:
🌏 Regulatory fragmentation across the EU, U.S. and APAC
💰 The core question: Who pays, who profits and what actually changes?
🤝 Moving from “ego-system” to ecosystem thinking through shared data and collective action

Thank you to Michelle and the YSE students for a great conversation. Read the full recap: https://na2.hubs.ly/H08mknv0

Digital Product Passports are coming to fashion, but they could be far more than a compliance checkbox.

In the latest episode of Source of Good, host Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff sits down with Nanna Ingemann Dalsgaard, Vice President, Strategic Intelligence at SML Group, to explore how a simple QR code or hidden chip in a garment could reshape supply chain transparency, customer engagement, and the future of how we shop.

Cascale and Worldly co-hosted an executive dinner during Climate Week NYC, bringing together guests, primarily Cascale members, to continue the conversation that began at our Annual Meeting in Athens.

CEO Ying McGuire opened the evening by challenging the room to name their hope for the future of sustainability in a single word. Throughout the week, our team also joined member events hosted by Nike, Levi Strauss & http://Co., Global Fashion Agenda, and Apparel Impact Institute, along with programming at the UN SDG Media Zone.

A few themes came up again and again:

✔️ Mobilizing teams beyond sustainability, from sourcing to compliance to operations
✔️ Navigating shifting regulation
✔️ Building a clearer business case for sustainability ambitions

The revised ESRS cut mandatory data points by around 60 percent, but double materiality remains at their core. The real question now is how companies put it to work.

In our latest blog, Gabriele Ballero, Public Affairs Manager at Cascale, explains what the revised standards mean in practice:

✔️ The top-down approach lets companies start from their business model and focus on where material impacts, risks, and opportunities actually sit.

✔️ For most consumer goods companies, that points to the manufacturing value chain, where facility-level data matters most.

✔️ Better alignment between regulation and existing systems is the most practical way to ease the reporting burden on manufacturers.

Gabriele also shares how Cascale has started mapping the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) to the revised ESRS, and why implementation experience from brands and manufacturers should keep informing the rules.
