The fashion group Mango has joined TextileGenesis, a traceability solution for the fashion and textile industry, to track its natural and animal fibers, plastics, regenerated cellulose fibers, and leather. TextileGenesis, a company of Lectra, offers, according to its own statements, with its offering and its "Fiber Forward" approach a complete and secure state-of-the-art technology. Mango, according to its own statements, has been committed for a long time to a fully transparent supply chain, and TextileGenesis will further strengthen this
commitment.
Since the start of the collaboration, according to TextileGenesis, Mango has traced more than 6,000 tons of sustainable fibers and more than 40 million finished products along its value chain. The platform has also enabled Mango to involve more than 1,000 actors in the supply chain in 23 countries, thereby creating a transparency that goes beyond certified fibers and also covers conventional materials, leather and shoes.

We are pleased to support Mango in achieving its sustainability goals by promoting traceability and creating a transparent value chain,” says Amit Gautam, CEO
of TextileGenesis.
