The Retail4Impact initiative brings together key stakeholders to drive systemic change throughout retail supply chains. As environmental requirements become more stringent and expectations for transparency continue to rise, the initiative supports companies in implementing measurable and credible approaches to environmental performance, supply chain management and social responsibility.
With more than 180 years of experience in textile testing and certification, TESTEX contributes scientific expertise and internationally recognised standards to support these efforts. As the official OEKO-TEX representative in China, TESTEX is well positioned to help companies strengthen the credibility and transparency of their sustainability claims.
Through this partnership, TESTEX will collaborate with international organisations and industry stakeholders to promote a more transparent, safe and responsible textile ecosystem.
The partnership was formalised during a signing ceremony at the 2026 Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics Spring Edition. Other participating organisations include the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Foundation, Anhui Liuchi Alley Charity Foundation, Hangzhou Electronic Commerce Association, Shenzhen Zero Waste Environmental Public Welfare Undertakings Development Center, Shanghai Zi Teng Community Environmental Protection Service Center and Shanghai Ecocycle Circular Economy Research Center.
