Transparency in the textile industry can help build trust more with consumers. Without taking action on these promises made, it leads companies down the road of greenwashing. In California Apparel News' article, "It's Not Easy Being Green: Transparency Within the Textile, Apparel Industry", we and other leaders of the sustainable fashion movement give insight into the importance of transparency.

Another good way to show the community that you are actually putting in the effort to have cleaner practices is to show the difference that you are making and what effect your decisions have. For example, we give stats annually to showcase our impact for the year. These acts of transparency help build trust from within the industry, and between consumers. All are important steps to show which companies are being more ecologically responsible.
