Event Overview
The Briefing on New Global Industry Glossary of Traceability Terms is scheduled for July 15, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET, and will be conducted online via Zoom. This event is organized by the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) and is open to all professionals in the apparel and footwear industry, regardless of AAFA membership.
Purpose and Importance
The briefing will introduce the Global Apparel, Footwear, & Accessories Glossary of Traceability Terms, which was released on June 3, 2026. This glossary serves as a vital resource for establishing a common reference point for terminology used across the industry. As supply chain transparency and traceability become increasingly critical, having consistent definitions is essential for effective communication among businesses, regulators, and stakeholders.
What to Expect
Participants will gain insights into the background that led to the creation of the glossary, its goals, and an overview of its contents. The glossary aims to define key traceability-related terms and address terminology that may appear in existing or emerging regulations, promoting clarity and shared understanding across the global supply chain. The event will also outline the next steps for implementation and usage of the glossary.
