Eliminating Forced Labor in the Supply Chain
Mark Burstein
Executive Vice President, Industry Principal at Logility
Logility
"The apparel industry will do what it takes to eliminate the use of forced labor in the supply chain," said Mark Burstein, Executive Vice President, Industry Principal at Logility. "If H.R. 6210 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is signed into law as it is currently drafted, importers must be able to prove their products do not contain any inputs from the XUAR, including both materials and labor. Logility's expertise in sourcing, quality, compliance, visibility and planning allowed us to quickly work with brand owners and retailers to ensure visibility across the entire digital thread at this critical time."
Mark Burstein is a digital supply chain and traceability expert that can discuss the current US ban on Xinjiang cotton and tomatoes, its impact on US businesses and what businesses can do to better vet suppliers, trace source materials and enact real change in their supply chains. Mark can also discuss the financial/reputational impact unethical sourcing practices will have on US brands if they don't take action.
