We operate in the clothing industry, which faces a wide range of social and environmental challenges. In keeping with our responsible management approach, we envisaged “Conscious Fashion” to help discover solutions to these issues. We formulated our sustainability strategy with a holistic approach to mitigate the environmental and social impact and integrated it into our business model.

Committed to developing an inclusive strategy, we focused on the key practices that meet the opinions and expectations of its stakeholders. The strategy is divided into three key categories, with each defining various actions to create value in the area of sustainability.

Our resolute focus on efficiency, productivity and worker welfare has enabled us to become an industry-leading production partner. Pioneering ethical practices help to safeguard and improve the well-being of our growing workforce, while sustainable production processes produce excellent quality products without compromising the environment or our values.

To reduce our carbon footprint, we work extensively with organic fabrics and are certified under GOTS, Sedex, Smeta, OCS, ISO 14000, ISO 9001, Higgs Index. We are audited regularly for these certifications and keep ourselves abreast of all improvements occurring under each certification.
