Know Thy Pants: Building a Sustainable Supply Chain from Seed to Sale

Feb 10, 2009 11:32 AM CST

An interview with Michael Kobori, Vice President of Global Supply Chains at Levi Strauss & Co.


Chances are your pants have probably been more places than you have. From cotton grown in India, zippers manufactured in China and apparel factories in the Dominican Republic, the apparel industry relies on a complex and sophisticated series of relations to get their clothes to a store near you - the global supply chain. But global supply chains carry serious environmental and labor challenges that apparel and other industries must attend to if they truly want to be sustainable.


Michael Kobori, Vice President of Global Supply Chains at Levi Strauss & Co. spoke with the Ceres Podcast about how Levi's is incorporating these issues into its sourcing decisions in order to create a more sustainable supply chain for its products.
