We know that leaving a livable world to future generations will come true with sustainability policies.
As a vertically integrated fabric manufacturer, we act to protect our natural heritage at every stage of our operational chain; from raw materials sourcing and P&D studies,
to resource consumption and waste management.

CHAIN OF OPERATION

Raw Material Supply

Use of raw materials obtained from sustainable resources
Use of ethical agricultural products with minimum additives in natural raw materials
Recycling policy in synthetic raw materials

Design and P&D

Design of products that can be obtained from sustainable raw materials
Developing products that can be processed with minimal resource use and waste
Developing alternatives to products that require high amounts of resource consumption and lead to hazardous environmental waste.

Production

100% ZDHC compatibility in dyestuffs and chemicals
Current water consumption below 50 liters per 1 kg of fabric processed
Aim at 70% reduction in water consumption by 2024

Waste Management

Wastewater treatment system in wet plants
Monthly wastewater analysis by accredited laboratories
Aim at 80% waste water recovery by 2024
Consumption efficiency through heat and energy recovery systems in all processes

We shape our raw material sourcing with the aim of minimum additives in selulosic fibers and maximum recycling in synthetic fibers.

As of 2021, 65% of our overall textile raw material consumption consists of sustainable fibers, while 85% of the cotton consumed in our production processes has at least one of the BCI, Organic and Recycled certificates. In 2022, we aim to increase the sustainable fiber rate above 75% in general consumption and over 90% in cotton consumption.

It is one of our primary principles that our collection fabrics are suitable for sustainable production. We continue our design and P&D studies with the principles of maximizing the usage of sustainable fibers in our products and minimizing the environmental impact of production processes.

We reduce our energy consumption with the heat recycling systems and track our water consumption in wet processes daily.

We are proud to have reduced our water consumption below 55 liters per kilogram of fabric processed. We are aiming to reduce water consumption further down to 20 liter per kilogram of fabric processed by the year of 2024.

Our chemical waste management is qualified as Class A by ZDHC criteria. Waste water discharged from our facilities is tested periodically and monitored for compliance with the criteria of the waste water regulations. All dyestuff and chemicals used in our operations comply with the ZDHC standards.
