Across the industry, we’re seeing a growing number of verbal commitments to long-term, balanced buyer–supplier relationships. But 63% of suppliers surveyed by Vogue Business report that brands expect them to advance sustainability while continuing to squeeze margins; a financially untenable partnership for all.

By centering the supplier perspective across seven key indicators, the BBPPI helps buyers identify where their practices are supporting — or undermining — their own sustainability ambitions.
