Bureau Veritas to Sponsor & Speak at AAFA Traceability & Sustainability Conference

Bureau Veritas, the leading Testing, Inspection and Certification provider, is pleased to be sponsoring and participating in the upcoming AAFA Traceability & Sustainability Conference.  The seminar will take place virtually November 3 & 4.  The event will explore sustainability through traceability. Achieving transparency in a company’s supply chain is not only the right thing to do but consumers and stakeholders are demanding it. Brand reputation, environmental repercussions, labor discord, and more are at stake. This program delivers business solutions, resources, and initiatives to keep people and the environment safe.

Bureau Veritas’ Chuck Rogers will take place in a panel discussion titled: “Traceability: A Path to Sustainability,” along with representatives from 5.11 Inc. and VF Corporation. Traceability and transparency in your supply chains gives you visibility on where harmful chemicals could enter your supply chain; where you have the most water or energy use; where you can inject recycled, organic, or sustainable materials; and where you have the most wastewater. This session will demonstrate how this visibility can help you launch or expand your sustainability efforts, no matter where you are in your sustainability journey or what resources you have available on that journey. 

The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) is a national trade association representing apparel, footwear and other sewn products companies, and their supplier.
