About the session
As part of the 2026 OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector conference to be held in Paris, this session will explore how the growth of e-commerce and demand-driven business models is reshaping supply chain structures and dynamics across the sector. The session will examine how these shifts have operationally enabled new production and sourcing models, including ultra-fast fashion, and how increasing expectations around speed and flexibility are transforming production cycles, supplier relationships, and sourcing practices. Panellists will discuss what these changes mean in practice for responsible business conduct (RBC), how their characteristics may challenge existing trade and regulatory frameworks, and what policy or collaborative approaches may be further needed.
