Indian home textiles manufacturer Indo Count Industries Ltd has been recognised as one of the ‘top performer’ suppliers at the recently held Walmart’s Global Sourcing Sustainability Summit. Indo Count contributed towards Walmart’s Project Gigaton through initiatives like installation of solar plant and reduction in freshwater consumption via water recycling plant.
Walmart launched Project Gigaton in 2017 aiming to inspire suppliers to reduce upstream and downstream (beyond-the-shelf) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the global supply chain. Specifically, Project Gigaton’s goal is to reduce one billion metric tons, or one gigaton, of CO2 emissions from the global supply chains by 2030.
Indo count is also supporting Walmart’s commitments on sustainable fibres, recyclable/sustainable packaging, and implementation of HIGG index. The company will continue to strive to help achieve Walmart’s goal of being a Regenerative Company, it said in a media release.
