Bill > HB2068

This bill seeks to address the environmental impacts of the fashion industry. It requires fashion retail sellers and manufacturers with over $100 million in annual worldwide gross income to disclose their environmental due diligence policies, processes, and outcomes, including their supply chain mapping and impact assessments. The bill also mandates these companies to establish, track, and disclose progress towards performance targets for reducing energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and chemical management. The Department of Ecology can impose civil penalties for violations, and the collected penalties will fund environmental benefit projects in overburdened communities. The bill aims to make the fashion industry in Washington more environmentally sustainable.
