An Act to establish fashion sustainability and social accountability in the commonwealth

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require large fashion companies to conduct due diligence on their supply chains to prevent human rights abuses and environmental harm. It specifically targets fashion sellers with over $100 million in annual revenue and fashion manufacturers, defining their obligations across four tiers of suppliers, from final assembly to raw material extraction. Companies must identify and mitigate risks related to labor conditions, such as ensuring workers earn a living wage, and document their efforts in a due diligence report. The legislation focuses on establishing clear definitions and reporting requirements rather than mandating specific outcomes or setting penalties for non-compliance.
