Transparency Manager in the Fashion Industry (TRAMA)
-
.
TRAMA is a two-year ERASMUS+ project that aims to tackle issues connected to the fashion industry and the disastrous impact it has on our environment, while offering a new profession more in line with the labour market need with solid global potential. Within their area of competences, the TRAMA consortium determined the need for a TRANSPARENCY MANAGER, a professional specialised in understanding the fashion value chain with the task of ensuring that fashion brands are moving towards more sustainable and ethical practices and that actors operating within follow ethical, responsible, and sustainable practices.
The professional called TRANSPARENCY MANAGER works as part of the value chain offering guidance for improvement from the inside or within a third-party assessor. The main task of this new professional is associated with setting up the value chain to be evaluated with a scale, such as the Fashion Transparency Index, used to give an illustrative look at how much brands know and share about the human rights and environmental impacts across their value chains.
In principle, anyone in the industry, such as designers, CEOs, value chain managers, cotton growers, wool-sheep breeders, chemist labs, logistics, etc. or willing to work within it, can be certified with the TRAMA certification scheme, if they possess the right entry-level requirements.
In the long term, the benefit of this professional will provide for more skilled professionals entering the job market, with a positive effect on the quality of the labour market, increased employee and employer satisfaction, and an overall increased ability to insert circular economy and ethical practices along the value chain of any industry.
