Profile
The Collaboration for Sustainable Development of
Viscose (CV) offers viscose producers a platform to achieve sustainable viscose
and help their customers deliver on their sustainability commitments.
CV is formed by 9 of
viscose fibre producers – collectively representing over 50% of the world’s
viscose staple fibre production – in partnership with two trade associations. This self-regulating initiative will see its
members adopt a much-needed sustainability roadmap for the viscose industry. The
roadmap will include a set of credible, practical and widely accepted
sustainability standards to help the viscose industry adopt and implement
sustainability best practices.

Four Key Attributes of the CV
Roadmap:
Three Core Components of the CV Roadmap:
Covering the full supply
chain of viscose production from raw material sourcing to responsible
production to product safety, 72 globally-recognised standards relevant to
textile/apparel and forestry sectors, out of the 240 sustainability standards
across 80 industrial sectors and 180 countries researched, were shortlisted for
further review, with 10 best practices and standards finally selected. These
chosen ones reflected the direct feedback of a broad range of stakeholders,
including brands, retailers and NGOs, through a series of surveys, interviews
and consultations.
Continuous improvement
is a core feature of the CV Roadmap design. Beyond the initial standards and
best practices set which requires time to be mainstreamed, the CV roadmap is
intended as a living document which will be subjected to periodic reviews and
updated as conditions warrant. The CV Roadmap draft is undergoing a final round of
stakeholder review, and is expected to be ready in Q2 2018.
