get the brands to tell us who made their
clothes, so that they can start to rebuild
these broken connections throughout
the supply chain.
We certainly haven’t seen a big response
from the brands and retailers in terms
of consumers asking ‘Who Made Your
Clothes?’ A lot of people have been

to know ‘who made my clothes?’ We
hope that by consumers taking that
small step, brands will realize that
they have to take a bigger step towards
transparency. In terms of the response
from the public, from organizations,
from the government and from brands
and retailers that want to be involved,
we have had a phenomenal response. We
have fifty-three countries involved
