Our Footprint,
In the Open

Most factories our size don't publish their emissions. We measure ours under the GHG Protocol — Scope 1, 2 and 3 — and publish the results, good and bad.

Indicator2024 (Baseline)2025Change
Scope 1 — direct (fuel, vehicles)16.19 tCO₂e16.71 tCO₂e+3.2%
Scope 2 — purchased electricity98.28 tCO₂e88.82 tCO₂e−9.6%
Grid electricity135,186 kWh125,099 kWh−7.5%

Energy per garment shipped0.163 kWh0.150 kWh−12%
Production1,213,420 pcs1,270,829 pcs+5%
Scope 3 (mostly purchased goods & freight) was 87% of our 2024 footprint of 750 tCO₂e — the honest reality of garment manufacturing, and where our supplier engagement work is aimed.

The target

An SBTi-aligned commitment: −37.8% Scope 1 + 2 by 2029 from the 2024 baseline — roughly 7.56% every year. Our 50.2 kW rooftop solar, now installed on the production unit, generates ~67,770 kWh a year — avoiding ~48 tCO₂e annually.

Already implemented

  • Water meters on both units + monthly leak-check program
  • IoT real-time energy monitoring system
  • Energy inventory tracked monthly, per source
  • Air compressors optimised from 8–11 bar to 6.5–8 bar (~12% energy cut)
  • Designated chemical storage with MSDS & secondary containment
  • DG exhaust stack raised above roof level for cleaner air
