Brandix factories awarded Eco Factory Attribute
Two manufacturing facilities of Brandix Apparel Solutions Limited,
Lingerie Cluster in Nittambuwa have been awarded Eco Factory Attributes
by the global retail giant Marks and Spencer (M and S) in recognition of
achievements in reducing their environmental footprint.
The two factories have reduced energy and water consumption by 30
percent and 15 percent and are recycling or reusing 100 percent of solid
waste, enabling them to score 91 points out of 100 at the M and S Eco
Factory Audit.
The Eco Factory Attribute is awarded under Marks and Spencer's 'Plan
A' initiative which was launched in January 2007 to combat climate
change, reduce waste, use sustainable raw materials, trade ethically and
help customers to lead healthier lives and aspire to be the industry
leader in sustainable consumption and production, by offering customers
quality products and services, sold through an efficient multi-channel
operation.
It hopes to make products with integrity by using sustainable raw
materials available and to work with factories operating to the highest
environmental and social standards, thus encouraging suppliers around
the world to make their supply chains carbon neutral through Green
manufacturing processes. |
