"If jeans manufacturers would give their employees a better wage, invest more in working conditions and protect the environment, then your jeans would be a lot more expensive. The 'hidden costs' in the production of jeans are 33 euros. Per Unit.

Much still goes wrong when manufacturing perhaps the most famous piece of clothing in the world, the old-fashioned jeans, research by the Impact Institute commissioned by ABN Amro shows. The most important conclusion: the purchase price for jeans is 33 euros too low.

It is about the so-called 'true price gap', the difference between the purchase price for a store and what it really costs to have the pants made. The researchers also include the damage caused by production to the environment and what is saved on labor costs.

India and Bangladesh
For the investigation, the entire production chain of jeans was analyzed. It starts in India, on cotton plantations and then goes through weaving mills in the same country to factories in Bangladesh. This is followed by transport to Europe.

A lot is saved, especially in the first steps of the process, the researchers said. For example, it is about cheaper labor by forcing people and even children to work. Nor is it so close to the environment that a lot of water is used and polluted.

"Real price"
If those 'hidden costs' were to be made clear to the consumer, they might therefore make a 'better choice', says Henk Hofstede, ABN Amro banker in the retail sector.

The system of 'true pricing', reporting what a product should actually cost, can force large clothing brands to do more about working conditions and protect the environment. Because if they don't, the consumer may switch to a different brand, the idea is."
