According to Greenpeace, Zara, the world's largest fashion retailer...has, "now committed to clean up their supply chain," after an intense, nine-day viral campaign waged against them...The full statement from Zara's parent company...sets a 2020 timetable for, "eliminating industrial releases of all hazardous chemicals."...[If] a heavyweight like Zara takes such measures, it stands to reason that H&M, Gap, and other large producers would soon follow suit...UPDATE: "Mango joins Zara, who committed to Detox last week, in beginning to take responsibility for their entire supply chain"
