A leader in sustainable design
With eight LEED-certified buildings and the first passive house in Southeast Asia, we’re setting new standards for sustainable infrastructure in the apparel industry. At every stage of our operations we thoughtfully consider our environmental impact, continually leveraging new technologies to reduce our footprint—from solar rooftop installations and water reuse programs to the restoration of local habitats and ecosystems. We’re committed to the ongoing improvement of our designs and processes, to ensure a greener, more sustainable future for all.
