River Island taps Segura supply chain transparency solution

River Island has partnered with supply chain transparency platform Segura.

The retailer recently published its ‘12 Commitments for People and Planet’, each aligned to the United Nations ‘Sustainable Development Goals’.

Segura will support River Island in the delivery of its commitments 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.

Jose Arguedas, Head of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability at River Island, comments: "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.”

“Through the platform we can extract detailed reports, requesting information from suppliers directly and validating it. It will allow us to identify opportunities to improve performance, and drive cost and time efficiencies across the business.”

“Our customers expect products that are safe, sustainable, and responsibly sourced and we are committed to ensuring that is exactly what we can offer.”
