Mostafiz Uddin, Managing Director, Denim Expert, has been accorded the title of "Sustainable Fashion Champion" at Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards 2021. As per the Daily Star, the awards were launched by Drapers, a 134-year-old fashion magazine based in the United Kingdom, last year at its annual Sustainable Fashion Conference, which brings together global fashion stakeholders.

They aim to recognize strides in reducing the fashion industry's environmental impact and creating fairer working conditions across the supply chain so that lessons can be taken from the best practices. This year the conference took place virtually on March 10.

Last year World Economic Forum made an honorable mention of Denim Expert in its "New Champion" award category for extraordinary leadership in sustainability and inclusivity in the apparel supply chain.

They highlighted Uddin as the founder and CEO of Bangladesh Apparel Exchange, which aims to bridge the gap between manufacturers, buyers and policymakers in the country to accelerate sustainability.
