TWINSET teams with TrusTrace on supply chain traceability and sustainability initiatives

TrusTrace reports that TWINSET, a high end Italian fashion brand, has selected its platform to help identify suppliers, support eco-design initiatives, and measure each product’s environmental impact. 

“By partnering with us, TWINSET has deepened its commitment to tracing their supply chain in granular detail. Now, they can better understand where and how their clothing is produced, and track each product’s environmental impact - all within one platform,” says TrusTrace CEO and Co-Founder Shameek Ghosh. 

Silvia Zaganelli, Traceability and Business Development Manager at TWINSET, says: “Since signing on with TrusTrace in May 2024, we have started implementing the platform as the backbone of our three-year traceability programme. This is a company wide strategic programme to discover sub-suppliers, map and collect data for key value processes, and achieve PO level traceability.” 

With a three-year roadmap, results will be reached progressively by scaling up to ultimately trace the full range of product categories and suppliers.

Key objectives are to identify material country of origin, manage supply chain risk such as forced labour, and enable eco-design by assessing the environmental impact of the product. To support the environmental impact initiative, TrusTrace partnered with life cycle assessment (LCA) solution Peftrust, which feeds traceability data directly to the LCA solution to get the most precise PEF (Product Environmental Footprint) scoring.

The initiative has helped support TWINSET to prepare for incoming regulations such as Digital Product Passports (DPPs) which will be mandatory on textiles sold in Europe by 2030, as well as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to report on their environmental and social impact.

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Supply chain technology was a key focus area for the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last month’s gathering.
