Sharing relevant, checkable information about products and how they are made.
Transparency makes information about products and production available for others to examine. A business might disclose the names and addresses of suppliers’ factories or explain which stages of its supply chain a statement covers. Useful disclosure identifies what the information describes and provides enough detail to check its scope. Traceability supplies records that follow materials and products through the chain, while transparency concerns the information shared from those records. Neither disclosure nor tracking alone establishes responsible practice. The distinction helps separate evidence about where production happened from evidence about the conditions under which it happened.
