Addressing a team from the UK, Founder and CEO of Moralfibre, Ms Shalini Seth Amin, said that Sustainable textile development can make a sea change, not only in the quality of products but also in providing well being of the people working in the industry.
The inherent transparency of sustainability principles and guidelines help create environmental and social sustainability and equality.
It encourages tracing the roots of each product and process from farmers to spinners, weavers, dyers, printers and to manufacturers as well as traders and what happens to people and its impact to the environment in the process.
The textile industry can take a lead in becoming a clean and fair trade industry which will help millions of workers in the textile industry live a life of dignity and well being.
