Chapter 3.1
Steering Committee
Facts and figures
The members of the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles elected a new Steering Committee in June 2023
The Steering Committee (SC) is the highest decision-making body of the Partnership and steers the strategic direction of the Partnership at its meetings, among other things. Representatives are elected every two years and it was that time again in 2023. The new election of the central decision-making body resulted in personnel changes in four of the five stakeholder groups. As a result, the steering committee now has more women than men. Two by-elections were also held in August and December 2023 due to the non-acceptance of the election of a representative of the business stakeholder group and a seat that had become vacant due to the insolvency of a member company. The current composition of the Steering Committee can be found on the Textile Partnership website.
The new Steering Committee will continue to drive forward the strategic realignment decided on last year so that the Partnership can continue to lead the way as a pioneering alliance for fair supply chains, even in light of the new legal requirements. In total, the 2023 Steering Committee held three meetings and a two-day conference. At its meetings, the decision-making body primarily dealt with topics related to the implementation of the realignment, e.g. innovations in the review process, transparency in the supply chain, recognition of alternative participation opportunities and the development of a mission statement.
