　　 Recently, Bosiden, a world-famous down jacket brand, held the "2025 Chemical Management Kick off Meeting" at its headquarters in Changshu, Jiangsu Province. With the theme of "building a sustainable supply chain and enabling ESG development through chemicals management", this meeting focused on chemicals management in the textile industry, marking a strategic step for Bosiden Group in building a responsible supply chain system. ZDHC Foundation, supply chain partners and industry experts gathered together to discuss green chemical innovation, compliance management and industry best practices, so as to help the fashion industry move towards a safer and more environmentally friendly future.

Build a sustainable supply chain and enable the development of ESG through chemicals management

　　 Deepen the fashion of ESG strategic responsibility empowerment

　　 Under the guidance of the UN's sustainable development goals and China's "3060" dual carbon goals, sustainable fashion is not only a trend, but also a common topic that the textile and clothing industry must face. Faced with the challenges of global climate change and resource shortage, Bosiden Group, as a leading enterprise in China's textile and clothing industry, deeply recognizes that enterprises have the responsibility and obligation to take the initiative to assume social, environmental and governance responsibilities, achieve sustainable fashion change, promote sustainable lifestyles and consumption patterns, and make contributions to actively addressing climate change.

Bosiden "1+3+X" ESG strategic framework

　　 Based on this concept, Bosiden Group has built an ESG strategic framework of "1+3+X" around "1 vision, 3 goals and X initiatives", and put forward the ESG vision of "consumer oriented, leading sustainable fashion". It is committed to meeting consumers' pursuit of fashion while promoting environmental protection, improving social welfare and leading the sustainable fashion development of the whole value chain. At the same time, through the three key areas of "product pioneer, natural improvement and people orientation" and the key issues under each area, and supported by the security system, gradually promote and realize the full coverage of green management, and truly implement the capacity building of ESG. Chemical safety management is one of the important topics of concern.

　　 Strictly manage chemicals and consolidate quality foundation

　　 At a time when the global textile and clothing industry is booming and consumers are increasingly concerned about product quality and safety, Bosiden has always placed brand quality management at the core of enterprise development. In the complex system of quality management, chemicals management issues are like a key bridge, connecting product quality, environmental responsibility and consumer health, running through the whole process of product production, and becoming an indispensable part of Bosiden's excellent quality control.

　　 Bosiden attaches great importance to the chemical safety management of the supply chain, and has built a comprehensive and multi-level chemical management system. From source procurement to production and use, to finished product testing, every link is strictly controlled to ensure the safety and compliance of chemicals. The chemical composition and management measures in raw materials and finished products are clearly standardized through the formulation of Bosiden Chemical Control Manual, Bosiden Chemical Restricted Substance List Requirements, etc. The Group has also defined the goal of achieving zero emission of toxic and harmful chemicals in the supply chain by 2030, leading the direction in the process of chemical management in the short and medium term.

　　 Bosiden will continue to deepen chemical management with rigorous attitude, scientific methods and innovative ideas, provide consumers with more high-quality, healthy and environmentally friendly products, and lead the industry towards a greener and sustainable future.

　　 Cooperate with ZDHC to promote sustainable chemicals management

　　 ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) is the abbreviation of Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals. This is an environmental protection initiative jointly launched by many well-known brands and retailers around the world, aiming to promote sustainable development in the garment, textile, footwear and leather industries, especially to reduce and eliminate the use and emission of harmful chemicals.

　　 In 2024, Bosiden Group joined ZDHC, a contracting brand of ZDHC, the Zero Emission Alliance of Hazardous Chemicals. Through the management of chemicals at the input, process and output ends, it eliminated the input of toxic and hazardous substances at the source. Joining ZDHC will help the Group fulfill its corporate social responsibility, improve its brand image and product quality, and bring consumers a safer and more environmentally friendly product experience.

　　 At the meeting, Bosiden systematically planned the implementation path of "source control - process optimization - terminal support", formulated clear MRSL compliance objectives and hierarchical management standards for supply chain partners, and promoted the establishment of a quantifiable and traceable chemical control system throughout the industry chain.

　　 In the best practice sharing link, Zhejiang Weixing Industrial Development Co., Ltd. Linhai Zipper Branch, as a core strategic supplier, showed the complete path of its MRSL (Production Restricted Substance List) management system from construction to implementation in detail. Through systematic measures such as establishing a professional team, optimizing the process flow, and effectively communicating with upstream value chain partners, the compliance rate of MRSL has significantly improved in the past year, providing the industry with replicable and promotable examples of chemical management practices.

　　 Enlighten the green future and create differentiated core competitiveness

　　 ESG is not a multiple-choice question in the future, but a must answer question of the times. Green choice is not cost, but investment. It is not only the ballast of high-quality healthy development and brand selection in the future, but also the core differentiated competitiveness in the next decade. Bosiden hopes to make common breakthroughs with its supplier partners in the "5+1" leading direction, that is, five basic capabilities of innovation, quality, rapid reaction, scale and intelligent manufacturing, plus the differentiated advantage of ESG. We look forward to working with our supplier partners to implement the green development mission and make green choice a new engine for high-quality development.

　　 The successful holding of this conference highlights the firm determination and practical action of Bosiden as an industry leader and "sustainable fashion practitioner". Looking forward to the future, Bosiden will continue to improve the chemical life cycle management system, deepen the green collaborative innovation of the supply chain, and comprehensively promote the green upgrading of the industry by establishing more stringent raw material screening standards, optimizing the production process, strengthening the quality detection mechanism and other systematic measures. Through the joint efforts of the whole value chain, we will create a safer, more environmentally friendly and more sustainable product experience for consumers, lead the industry in a new pattern of high-quality development, and jointly build a sustainable fashion future.
