Brandix's two factories bag 'Eco Factory Attribute' by M&S

Overall, conservation initiatives across the Group have enabled Brandix to reduce electricity consumption per product by 12 per cent in 2013-14 over the previous year, and cut water consumption by 2.6 per cent during the same period.

In September 2012, Brandix set itself the target of reducing its environmental footprint by a further 20 per cent by 2020, and released its maiden Sustainability Report, the first by a private company in Sri Lanka. To support this initiative and track its progress, the Group has developed its own ‘Eco Index’ -- an assessment tool which can be used to measure the environmental performance of Brandix factories and offices across the Group and facilitates a fair and easy comparison between factories and clusters.
 
By March 2014, the Group had reduced its carbon footprint by 35 per cent from the base year (2008), principally through switching from furnace oil boilers to biomass boilers. A fifth of Brandix’s energy requirements now come from renewable sources.
 
One of the largest suppliers of apparel to top retail brands in the US and Europe, Brandix employs over 48,000 associates across several integrated manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka, and large operations in India and Bangladesh. The Group is a benchmark and international award winner for eco-friendly manufacture and commitment to environmental best practice and was earlier this year recognised as Sri Lanka’s ‘Organisation Committed to Green’ by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka (GBCSL).
