Manufacturing Sustainability Services

Because being sustainable starts by working with the right factories, we help you evaluate and improve the environmental and chemical performance of a facility to ensure you meet your sustainability goals and those of your customers.

SgT can help you with many major environmental elements:

Environmental / Chemical Assessment and Solutions

Assess and improve textile manufacturers’ environmental and chemical performance.

• Development of assessment based on your chosen checklist:
  • A global checklist → working faster thanks to our experience
  • Your own checklist → adding our sustainability knowledge
  • SgT’s tailor made checklist → helping you from scratch
• Capacity building or training as per checklist
• On-site assessment & reporting
• Coaching & Consulting for performance improvement

Verification of Low Impact or Sustainable Processes

Detailed verification of processes that are claimed to have low impact vis-à-vis regular processes and the quantification of such low impacts.

Higg Index Verification

The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) which develops the Higg Index has approved a verifier from SgT (Dr Kannan Muthu, SAC69) to:

• Verify and validate the self-assessment score of a factory that is using the Higg FEM 3.
• Provide performance improvement plan as per SAC verification protocol.

Main benefits:

• Reduced risks by identifying the facilities that may be at risk.
• Decreased costs with factories using less energy, water, materials and packaging.
• Enhanced brand image with sustainable processes and factories.
