Making Textile Sustainability Measurable and Verifiable
Circular Stitches is an NGO working on research, tools, and frameworks that help brands and manufacturers move from sustainability claims to verifiable, data-driven action.
About Circular Stitches
Circular Stitches is an NGO working to strengthen transparency, accountability, and sustainability across textile and fashion value chains. We support the development and advancement of the Sustainable Fibre Standard (SFS), an initiative designed to address critical gaps in the industry and provide a credible foundation for more responsible practices.
Our work focuses on research, advocacy, tools, and frameworks that help brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and other stakeholders make informed, evidence-based decisions. We promote approaches that support transparent supply chains, material integrity, responsible chemical management, and social responsibility across the textile lifecycle.
Through research and advocacy, Circular Stitches works to advance practical and measurable approaches to sustainability. By strengthening access to credible information, common frameworks, and verifiable practices, we aim to support the transition toward a more transparent, accountable, and sustainable textile and fashion industry.
Our Purpose
At Circular Stitches, our purpose is to drive meaningful change in the textile and fashion industry by focusing on three core pillars
Data-Driven Solutions
We believe that transparency begins with reliable data. By leveraging data-driven insights, we ensure supply chain integrity, enable informed decision-making, and promote accountability across every stage of the process.
Building Bridges
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work to bridge gaps between farmers, manufacturers, brands, and consumers, fostering partnerships that align with the principles of the Sustainable Fibre Standard (SFS). Together, we create a cohesive ecosystem where everyone plays a role in achieving sustainability.
Circular Fashion
We are committed to redefining fashion through circularity. By promoting practices that reduce waste, optimize resource use, and encourage recycling, we aim to build a future where the industry operates within planetary boundaries while remaining economically viable.
Our Mission
To champion the Sustainable Fibre Standard (SFS) by driving awareness, empowering stakeholders, and providing expert advisory services for sustainable supply chain transformation.
Sustainable Fibre Standard (SFS)
The current system for tracing fibers and materials begins only at the ginner, creating significant gaps in transparency and accountability.
