A study on the carbon neutral data of Tiruppur, the main hub for export of knitted garments in the country, will be done by Andre Lacroix, global CEO of Intertek Testing Services.
The Tiruppur Exporters’ Association office bearers had a meeting with Mr. Lacroix in Coimbatore recently on sustainability issues.
A press release from the Association president K.M. Subramanian said the garment sector in Tiruppur has taken several steps to achieve Environment Social Governance (ESG), such as zero liquid discharge (ZLD), installation of wind and solar power generators, tree planting, conservation of water bodies, and manufacture of garments using recycled fabrics. “Global players are discussing more on sustainability and Tiruppur Exporters’ Association has taken special efforts to address the issues concerned and to make Tiruppur a sustainable cluster,” he said.
