SHEIN
Protecting product integrity in global fashion retail
SHEIN is a leading global online fashion and lifestyle retailer, headquartered in Singapore and operating key centers in the United States, Brazil, and Ireland.
As part of their social and sustainability commitments, and to provide confidence for both customers and regulators, the company wanted to verify the origin and integrity of their products. SHEIN sought a solution to help protect the integrity of their cotton products and supply chain.
In Oritain's forensic science, they found the solution.
Scientific testing builds compliance & assurance
Through on-demand manufacturing technology that connects suppliers to an agile supply chain, SHEIN delivers a variety of affordable fashion products to customers in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Since 2022, SHEIN has worked with Oritain on a scientific testing program to ensure transparency among third-party suppliers across its cotton supply chain.
Using random selection, and collection of materials by an independent third party, Oritain's rigorous testing methodology delivers the highest levels of process transparency and reliability of results.
Expanding SHEIN’s commitment
In 2024, SHEIN announced an expansion of its engagement with Oritain, reinforcing SHEIN’s continued focus on ensuring the highest levels of compliance from manufacturing to sale.
As a verified brand partner, this first of its kind program with Oritain commits to a five-year program that will see significantly expanded testing across its cotton supply chain, with third-party collection from all cotton suppliers (yarn, fabric and finished materials) in addition to SHEIN Marketplace items.
The program is designed to verify that SHEIN’s products align to its Cotton Sourcing Policy. Oritain does this by scientifically testing that the materials from SHEIN’s supply chain have been manufactured using cotton fibre that adhere to this Cotton Sourcing Policy.
