An End of Year Message from the Better BuyingTM Team

Dear Friends,

Just Published!  Spotlight Report on Win-Win Sustainable Partnership – how are suppliers investing savings when buyers accept recently completed audits?

As 2022 draws to a close, the Better BuyingTM team would like to thank all our supporters, and wish you Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.

2022 has been the year when purchasing practices’ moment has arrived, with a growing understanding across the industry that responsible purchasing is the “missing link” in the drive for a more sustainable apparel and garments sector.

2022 has also been a landmark year for Better BuyingTM, and our busiest to date. We have seen a 50% increase since last year in the number of brand and retailer subscribers, and the highest number of supplier ratings to date in our flagship survey, the Better Buying Purchasing Practices IndexTM. We also published the findings from our new, shorter survey, The Better Buying Partnership IndexTM, and launched a new e-Learning course for brands and retailers.
