In their own words

“Cascale (formerly Sustainable Apparel Coalition) is an independent and impact-creating organization that aims to lead the industry toward a shared vision of sustainability based upon a joint approach for measuring, evaluating, and improving performance.”

“As a non-profit organization, it has members from across the apparel, footwear and consumer goods, but exists independently outside any one company so that it can drive progress. Cascale’s collective action efforts bring more than 300 global brands, retailers, manufacturers, NGOs, academics and industry associations together. They represent about half of the apparel and footwear industry along the whole supply chain – from sustainability pioneers to organizations just getting started. We are committed to transparency, collective action (focusing on protecting human rights and combating climate change), and sustainability leadership (accelerating action through collaborations, membership requirements, and expansion to other sectors).”
