Phase Eight taps Segura supply chain transparency tech

Fashion retailer Phase Eight has partnered with supply chain transparency platform Segura.

This allows it to contain all supplier processes within one system that boosts data and tracks updates in real-time, enhances how purchase orders are issued, embedding traceability into the linked trims and labelling requirements, and hosts a suite that enables audits, corrective action plans, policy requirements and communications to be streamlined and automated.

Justin Hampshire, Group Managing Director at Phase Eight owner, TFG Brands (London), says: “As a purpose led business that aims to put people and the planet first,”

“it is important to us to continue to protect the human rights of those who help make and sell our products and services. We take our responsibilities seriously; when we champion higher standards and practices, we can have a real impact on the lives of millions of people across our value chain.”

Francesca Mangano, Head of CSR and Sustainability at TFG Brands (London) comments: "We understand it’s the nature of supply chains to be continuously evolving, but it’s crucial to us to ensure we partner with suppliers who share our values.”

“Our aim for 2022 is to focus on continuing to map our supply base beyond our second tier and the Segura platform will allow us to do this.”

Peter Needle, Founder and President at Segura, says: “We were delighted to partner with Phase Eight who share our belief in the importance of building ethical and sustainable businesses. We will continue to support Phase Eight with their evolving corporate sustainability targets.”
