Vietnamese manufacturer, Fashion Enterprise, has expanded its partnership with FibreTrace and Good Earth Cotton in order to provide a carbon-neutral and fully traceable supply chain to its clients.

Fashion Enterprise, which is a manufacturer that specializes in the production of raw and dyed yarn, knitted and woven/denim garments, hopes that its new partnership with FibreTrace, an end-to-end supply chain traceability company, and Good Earth Cotton, a third-party verified carbon-positive cotton, will provide its customers with a guarantee of authenticity and traceability.

The collaboration is stated to highlight the industry’s growing need to adopt more circular and sustainable business models globally, as well as to support a fully transparent and traceable supply chain that promotes climate-friendly outcomes.

It also aims to provide customers with access to Australian-grown, carbon-neutral, and natural fibers while ensuring the authenticity of the fiber from farm to finished garment and maintaining a high quality of operations. This is significant because Vietnam is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and one of Australia's top cotton import markets. In reality, the textile sector in the country is believed to have risen at a constant pace of 17% per year.

The Vietnam fashion company is already proud of its partnerships with Vietnamese spinning and textile mills, as well as its tight collaboration with global buyers and brands to discover sustainable supply chain solutions, from design to final shipment.

Fashion Enterprise CEO, Rodney Thanh, said that Good Earth Cotton and FibreTrace represent the future of the fashion industry. Good Earth Cotton combined with the power of FibreTrace is an indestructible tool for the global textile and fashion industry, allowing brands to thoughtfully stay in control of their supply chain while allowing customers to see the full journey of how their garments were made and who made them." This is true visibility and traceability."

Good Earth Cotton is the world's first and only carbon-positive and traceable cotton production, driven by innovation, data, and best agricultural practices. Its goal is to provide brands confidence that the cotton they've purchased was grown with the least amount of environmental effect possible, actively lowering and sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.

FibreTrace's physical and digital technology, on the other hand, seeks to help brands go beyond paper certification by verifying and auditing fiber composition in real-time as it flows through the global supply chain.
