River Island adds to green credentials

High street fashion retailer River Island is using a new platform to increase sustainability in its supply chain

River Island has partnered with Segura to ensure its suppliers are ethical, sustainable, efficient and compliant.

The Segura platform enables companies to continuously map and monitor their multi-tiered supply chain and will support River Island’s corporate sustainability targets.

It will support River Island in the delivery of their commitment with its SaaS solution, providing the ability to manage and track orders giving suppliers fewer opportunities to use unwanted third parties, or factories in lower tiers that may be sub-standard, mitigating risks and ensuring transparency.

Jose Arguedas, head of corporate responsibility and sustainability at River Island, said: "Segura provides us with a complete solution, incorporating all of our supply chain management and transparency requirements, with the ability for us to expand the remit as our business needs develop.”
