Cascale (formerly the Sustainable Apparel Coalition) and Open Supply Hub (OS Hub) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at driving greater sustainability and transparency across global supply chains. Cascale, a nonprofit committed to promoting ethical business practices in the consumer goods sector, will collaborate with OS Hub, a supply chain mapping platform, to provide open, accessible data that enables informed decision-making.
The partnership merges Cascale’s Higg Index tools with OS Hub’s expansive database of over 500,000 production sites, creating a powerful resource for brands, manufacturers, and retailers. This integration aims to promote responsible sourcing and industry accountability, addressing increasing demands for transparency and sustainability.
Cascale CEO Colin Brown expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the need for actionable tools and collaboration to achieve meaningful advancements. “This partnership is a significant step toward creating a more ethical and accountable supply chain,” he stated.
OS Hub CEO Natalie Grillion highlighted the importance of standardized, interoperable data. “By aligning our resources, we can empower businesses to go beyond compliance and make impactful, sustainable choices,” she said.
