Hugo Boss on the case for pre-competitive collaboration in the apparel sector

Andreas Streubig, director, global sustainability, at Hugo Boss discusses with Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh how the fashion business organises its supply chains, developing more transparency. Streubig argues the case for sector-wide platforms and pre-competitive collaboration to deal supply chain challenges, and to combat the risks of a fragmentation of approaches. Customers, he says, are ever-more aware of sustainability issues but that these are not yet significantly influencing buying decisions.
