TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE SYSTEM
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE STANDARDS
Indiefab is currently working towards securing the certifications for its factory standards, social accountability, environmental safeguards and governance standards. Given the level of compliances already in place, we are hopeful of securing a formal certification sooner than later
Even though some of the standards are not in place, members have taken all possible measures to be compliant in most of the key areas relating to factory housekeeping, workplace safety, protection of worker's rights, environmental safeguards and governance.
