Our Engagement

Environmental sustainability of the textile supply chain is a key business risk for global brands. Brands are now growing increasingly focused on the environmental impacts of their product designing decisions, improving supplier resource efficiency, and ensuring safer working conditions.

To date, PaCT has partnered with 13 leading global apparel brands and NGO Solidaridad to drive greater demand for the implementation of best practices in product development, and supply chain management of the textile sector.

Key priority areas that PaCT addresses for a sustainable and ‘derisked’ textile supply chain include:

  • Addressing high water, energy, and chemical use in textile manufacturing
  • Guidance on the development of eco-friendly product design decisions through the Decision Support Guidance (DSG)
  • Elimination of hazardous chemicals through Chemical Management 
  • Reduction of textile wastewater pollution through Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) 
  • Avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions

Program results reveal that for every $ 1 that was spent on technical assessment, PaCT has demonstrated the following savings.

Our Engagement
*results are based on 35 PaCT partner factories that have implemented in-depth cleaner production measures
