Description

In our first episode of SIP Season 2, we chatted with David Uricoli, who spent 32 years at Ralph Lauren working on human rights and labor issues. While most of us are familiar with the environmental impacts of fashion supply chains, there is an often overlooked reality associated with the social and human impacts of apparel production. Our conversation delves into the important need for traceability, especially in regions like Xinjiang, China, where forced labor characterizes the supply chain. David helps break down the real-world challenges to social compliance as well as potential solutions to overcome these roadblocks.
