Resumen
Descripción
Today, textiles and apparel companies
are confronted with a number of significant environmental
and social challenges. None of the challenges are
insurmountable, but if not effectively addressed and
managed, they can hurt core business operations and
profitability. Among these challenges are increasing energy
and raw materials costs, the growing power and influence of
environmental and labor regulatory agencies, and rapidly
evolving consumer awareness and concerns about environmental
and social issues. These risks are in addition to the
primary risk of failing to build brand and consumer
confidence. This Handbook is intended to be a practical
guide to help companies in the textiles and apparel industry
develop and implement an environmental and social management
system, which should help to improve overall operations. If
a company has existing management systems for quality or
health and safety, this Handbook will help to expand them to
include environmental and social performance. Sections I
and II of this handbook provide background on environmental
and social management systems (ESMS) in the textiles and
apparel industry. Section III provides step-by-step
instructions on how to develop and implement an ESMS. The
ESMS Toolkit and Case Studies section gives tools for
implement the systems described, as well as two case studies
of companies in the food and beverage industry that
implemented an ESMS. Finally, the ESMS Self-Assessment and
Improvement Guide is a companion publication contains a
questionnaire, maturity matrix, and improvement tips to help
companies measure the maturity of their ESMS. For more publications on IFC Sustainability please visit www.ifc.org/sustainabilitypublications.
