India’s leading textile company Page Industries, which is also an exclusive licensee of Jockey and Speedo in India, has been conferred with the leadership award for Green Supply Chain at ESG India Leadership Awards.
The company is acknowledged as the winner for recognising excellent practices in sourcing products from environmentally responsible suppliers and ensuring an ethical supply chain.
Organised by ESGRisk.ai, the award is by India’s first ESG rating company, which is part of the Acuité Group.
The ESG leadership award highlights various aspects of Page’s FY2019-20 supply chain achievements. These include OEKO-TEX certification – 90 per cent of the critical fabric suppliers are OEKO-TEX certified, and the company aims to ensure that all its vendors and suppliers get the same certification by FY2022.
Besides, 78 per cent of the garment outsourcing divisions is Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP)-certified to maintain a responsible supply chain.
Ganesh VS, CEO and ED of the company said, ”We are honoured to be recognised as an ESG leader for the sustainability practices implemented in our supply chain. It is our vision to be a leading apparel company through balanced growth with a focus on quality, innovation and sustainable practices, thereby, creating lasting value for all our stakeholders. To achieve our vision and ensure ethical conduct, it is empirical that our suppliers share our values and vision and raise the sustainability standards in our supply chain.”
He further added that we strive to engage with environmental and social certified suppliers; collaborate and co-create with them to achieve joint success and long-term value creation. We still have a long way to go and are committed to working with our suppliers on this journey of continuous improvement.
