Mango joins forces with TextileGenesis in line with its commitment to traceability

Barcelona-based fashion giant Mango reaffirms its commitment to sustainability. The business has announced a collaboration with TextileGenesis, the leading traceability platform for the textile and fashion industry, to guarantee the traceability of its natural, synthetic, and cellulosic fibres, as well as leather, from source to finished product. The alliance will enable the company to ensure a transparent and digitised value chain.

Founded in 2018, the Dutch platform TextileGenesis has been owned since 2022 by Lectra, the French specialist in equipment for the flexible materials industry. Its technology, based on a ‘fibre-forward’ approach and six-dimensional capabilities, enables brands to verify the authenticity and origin of materials, providing reliable and secure data at every stage of production.

“Achieving this level of transparency poses a significant challenge for brands like Mango, due to the complexity of their global supply chains,” explained TextileGenesis CEO Amit Gautam, stressing that the platform “makes it possible to provide verifiable, detailed information at every stage of production, helping the company to meet its sustainability goals.”

Through this new partnership, Mango aims to strengthen its commitment to circularity, addressing challenges associated with tighter regulation and rising consumer expectations regarding sustainability and ethical practices. Since an initial pilot launched in 2023, the collaboration with the Dutch platform has enabled the Barcelona-based company to digitally map more than 6,000 tonnes of sustainable fibres and 40 million finished products, involving over 1,000 supply chain stakeholders across 23 countries.

Founded in 1984 by Isak Andic, the Catalan company operates in more than 120 markets through a retail network of over 2,800 stores. In the first half of the current financial year, Mango posted turnover of €1.728 billion, up 12% on the previous year. Looking ahead, the company expects to end 2026 with €4 billion in sales and 500 additional points of sale, both domestically and internationally.
