GreenStitch aims to become go-to platform for fashion and retail sustainability: interview
Greenstitch was founded with a singular vision: to empower apparel and textile companies to weave sustainability into the core fabric of their business through intelligent data management. We are not a generic ESG software provider; we are specialists deeply immersed in the complexities and unique challenges of the global fashion value chain. Our mission is to help apparel and textile brands go green with an easy-to-use, AI-powered platform made just for this industry. We simplify tricky regulations, track carbon emissions, and give clear insights, all while working with tools like Worldly/ Higg. Our tech handles complex global supply chains. We're not just a tool- we're a partner, helping brands shine in sustainable fashion with fresh ideas and real results. FN: What are some recent milestones or achievements GreenStitch has accomplished in the last six to 12 months? NM: In the past year, GreenStitch has hit some big milestones. We were honored by the Ministry of Textiles at Bharat Tex, Asia's largest textile event, as the Digital Innovation of the Year. We also secured investment from top-tier investors, fueling our growth. Plus, we've expanded our product offerings to better serve the fashion and textile industry's sustainability needs. FN: Are there any new partnerships, client acquisitions, or expansion plans in the pipeline- either in India or globally? NM: We are actively working on expanding into Southeast Asia, the UK, Europe, and North America. Our focus is on onboarding stakeholders across the textile value chain- from suppliers and manufacturers to exporters and global brands. We're also building partnerships with regional textile hubs and sustainability alliances to localise our platform's value while supporting global reporting needs. These efforts are aligned with our roadmap to help manage over one billion tonnes of emissions in the coming years. FN: Have you recently launched any new product features or technology upgrades? If so, how do they enhance your platform's value for fashion and textile businesses? NM: We regularly roll out new features and tech upgrades to keep our platform cutting-edge. Recently, we launched ecodesign tools that let companies predict a product's environmental impact before production, helping them make smarter, greener choices. We've also added advanced validation models to boost accuracy and validation. FN: With sustainability regulations evolving globally, how is GreenStitch helping brands stay compliant and competitive in this changing landscape? NM: GreenStitch helps brands tackle global sustainability regulations with ease and stay competitive. Our AI-powered platform integrates with existing systems, automating carbon accounting and lifecycle assessments to meet standards like EPR, PEF, and CSRD. We provide real-time insights into Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, helping brands spot high-impact areas, cut their footprint, and choose sustainable designs and suppliers early on. With clear dashboards and digital product passports, we ensure transparent reporting, build consumer trust, and position brands as sustainability leaders. FN: How is your platform supporting brands in managing and reducing Scope 3 emissions, and how do digital product passports play into that? NM: GreenStitch makes managing Scope 3 emissions simple, even with messy, unstructured fashion data. Our platform normalises and processes data in any format in minutes, saving brands huge effort. We calculate granular Scope 3 emissions, showing which suppliers, products, or materials emit the most and offering actionable ways to reduce them. Unlike spend-based methods, our approach gives real insights for active emissions cuts. Digital product passports enhance this by transparently sharing environmental footprints with customers via QR codes and widgets, boosting trust and engagement. DPP is a part of a large EU green deal and will be a law in one year. FN: What does the next phase of growth look like for GreenStitch in terms of product roadmap, team expansion, or market outreach? NM: Our goal is to make GreenStitch the go-to platform for fashion and retail sustainability. We have a robust product roadmap in the works, with new features to enhance our platform. We're also growing our team and expanding our market outreach to connect with more brands in India and worldwide, helping them achieve their sustainability goals. FN: Do you have a message you would like to share with industry peers and stakeholders about the role of data and technology in enabling sustainability at scale? NM: Data and tech are like the heart and soul of a greener future. With AI and smart insights, we can make choices that heal our planet and improve our profits. Let's come together, use these tools, and build a sustainable world that shines for everyone.

Worldly Heralds New Era for Global Supply Chains: Smarter, Cleaner, More Resilient
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Worldly, the leading sustainability data and analytics platform for the consumer goods industry, today announced the launch of new compliance and supply chain intelligence solutions, including Eco Scores and the Insights Hub. Together, these solutions mark a bold evolution in how the consumer goods industry uses product and primary supply chain data to drive strategic action and decarbonize at scale. Built for global brands, retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers, the expanded offerings help customers drive impact, improve efficiency, uncover hidden risk, and build resilient, future-ready businesses and supply chains. Worldly's new solutions mark a bold evolution in how the consumer goods industry uses product and primary supply chain data to drive strategic action and decarbonize at scale. Share 'Brands, retailers, and suppliers across the global consumer goods industry face growing pressure to meet climate goals, maintain compliance, and drive business performance—all with greater speed and at global scale,' said Scott Raskin, CEO of Worldly. 'With the deep, intuitive analytics of Insights Hub, our customers can transform complex supply chain data into clear, strategic action and make faster, smarter decisions across sourcing, procurement, sustainability, and executive leadership.' With increased economic uncertainty and rising demands from consumers, regulators, and investors, supply chain visibility has become a strategic imperative for businesses navigating an ever-evolving landscape. Worldly's expanded suite of solutions delivers actionable insights quickly that enable procurement, sourcing, sustainability, and compliance teams to collaborate on the most meaningful areas for impact and performance like uncovering supply chain risks and accelerating GHG reductions to navigate market and climate pressures. 'Having the ability to visualize supplier data—across countries, across our full portfolio—is incredibly powerful,' said Cerian Atwell, Sustainability Lead at M&S. 'It helps us set realistic targets and identify which supplier programs will have the greatest impact.' 'Quantitative data isn't the destination—it's the starting point for deeper, more meaningful conversations,' Susan Scow, Sustainability Impact Specialist at Eileen Fisher, said. 'As we dig further into tiers two and three of our supply chain, maintaining strong, individual relationships with suppliers year over year becomes critical. For us, it's about using data to build connection and clarity, together.' Insights Hub Heralds a New Era of Data-Driven Decision-Making At launch, the Insights Hub offers an industry-first: a focused dashboard of the Top 5 Decarbonization KPIs every business should be tracking. These include: A business's total supply chain carbon emissions The carbon intensity for an individual facility or a specific group of facilities Electricity and thermal carbon intensity Percent of electricity that is onsite and purchased renewable The energy intensity of a facility's production 'Aligning on Carbon Intensity (CI) gives us a common language to measure and compare impact—across countries, facilities, and production processes,' said Paul Goff, H&M Traceability and Sustainability Senior Product Manager. 'It strips out variables like production volume, which can cloud the picture, and focuses on how clean the energy is. It's simple, it's comparable, and it's actionable—exactly what we need to drive real decarbonization across the industry.' In the near future, the Insights Hub will include metrics on water, waste, and social performance to offer deeper visibility into key impact areas. GHG Calculations with Deeper Product Data In addition to launching the Insights Hub, Worldly has expanded the capabilities of its Product Impact Calculator (PIC). Launched September 2024, PIC now enables businesses to produce Eco Scores and calculate Scope 3 GHG emissions with primary data from suppliers that produce materials used in consumer goods. This includes sources like mills and gins—where more than 80% of environmental impact occurs in the apparel and textile industry. The PIC continues to use primary data from finished goods suppliers as well. This breakthrough gives brands and manufacturers a more precise emissions calculation for reporting out on Scope 3 emissions. To further support businesses along their compliance journey, Worldly also introduced a new game-changing transparency and accountability solution to support businesses in meeting the emerging product labeling regulations in France—the French EcoScore. These regulations make product-level environmental impact scores visible to consumers for the first time. With this update, Worldly is supporting companies in meeting regulatory expectations and staying ahead of market demands to reduce supply chain risk. Deeper Product GHG Insights Power Smarter, More Resilient Supply Chains For brands and retailers, a clear and continuous picture of their supply chain—backed by high-quality, year-over-year data from suppliers—is critical to managing risk and maintaining trust among business partners. For suppliers, maintaining and reporting uninterrupted data positions them as leading, strategic partners in a rapidly shifting marketplace. 'The innovations we're announcing today are just the beginning,' said Raskin. 'As climate-related disruptions accelerate—from factories in flood zones to sourcing regions facing wildfires and extreme heat—businesses need to see their data in geographic and environmental context. Soon, Worldly will give companies the ability to go beyond compliance by pairing detailed operational data with localized climate risk. This insight will help our customers identify where their supply chains are vulnerable, take proactive steps to protect workers, and build the resilience needed to navigate an increasingly uncertain world.'

Cascale and Worldly Release New Policy Deep Dive on APAC Corporate Sustainability and Supply Chain Regulation
AMSTERDAM and HONG KONG and OAKLAND, Calif., May 8, 2025 /3BL/ - Cascale, the global nonprofit alliance empowering collaboration to drive equitable and restorative business practices in the consumer goods industry, and Worldly, the leading supply chain sustainability data insights platform, today released a new policy deep dive: Navigating Regulation and Building Resilience: Key Trends in Corporate Supply Chain Responsibility for APAC in 2025. This report examines the growing trend of climate- and supply chain-related regulations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and their implications for global brands, manufacturers, and suppliers. Released ahead of the Cascale Forum: Ho Chi Minh City, taking place on May 14–15, the analysis provides key insights that can inform conversations on regulatory readiness, facility-level data, and regional leadership. The urgency of these shifts is underscored by the region's exposure to climate risk,' said Elisabeth von Reitzenstein, senior director of policy and public affairs at Cascale. 'The APAC region is home to the majority of the world's 100 most environmentally at-risk cities. Our industry has a responsibility—and an opportunity—to lead in shaping more resilient, transparent supply chains. This deep dive is designed to equip our members with the foresight to do exactly that.' In addition to spotlighting major national and international regulatory developments, the deep dive outlines clear recommendations for companies, including how to invest in localized data systems, set science-based targets, and build stronger brand-manufacturer partnerships. As part of its expanded focus on the APAC region, Cascale plans to launch a new APAC Policy Member Expert Team (MET) in 2025, which will advise on regulatory priorities and help shape the organization's advocacy efforts across the region. Cascale also continues to work closely with local industry associations such as VITAS and BGMEA to support members in navigating compliance and aligning with policy momentum. 'We're committed to amplifying local voices and building policy alignment from the ground up,' said Howard Kwong, senior manager of public affairs, APAC at Cascale. 'This deep dive is part of a broader effort to equip our members in and sourcing from the APAC region with the insight, partnerships, and tools needed to lead in a shifting global landscape.' Tools such as the Higg Index continue to play a critical role in enabling companies to meet emerging regulatory and buyer expectations, offering standardized, facility-level data on environmental and social performance. To build resilient, future-ready businesses, companies must look beyond compliance and deeply understand the policy shifts unfolding across the Asia-Pacific region,' said JR Siegel, vice president, sustainability at Worldly. 'As APAC governments move from voluntary guidance to mandatory regulation, the leading companies of tomorrow will be the ones that invest in transparency, climate adaptation, and clean energy today. This paper is a call to action for businesses to treat these policy changes as an opportunity to shape the future of responsible commerce.' This publication builds on previous Cascale and Worldly policy deep dives, including reports on the EU's CS3D and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. It reflects the organizations' ongoing commitment to delivering expert insight, regional engagement, and practical support to help the consumer goods industry meet its sustainability and compliance goals.
