Saitex becomes the only apparel factory to be certified by B Lab

Saitex, the Vietnam-based denim manufacturer has become he only apparel factory headquartered in Asia with B Corporation Certification. As a B Corp company, Saitex will measure and manage the impact of its business on its workers, community and the environment and monitor its profits.

Companies receive the distinction of being a Certified B Corporation from B Lab, a non-profit organisation that measures best business practices, by meeting rigorous standards of social, environmental performance, transparency and legal accountability. Companies must meet B Lab’s 80-point bar for certification—a process that requires interviews, proof of documents and background checks. Certified B Corporations are also subject to random site reviews.

Saitex’s Ho Chi Minh City-based facilities achieved a score of 105.6. The LEED-certified and Fair Trade facilities produce an average of 18,000 pairs of jeans per day and with a $2 million recycling system on-site, the water consumption for each pair of jeans is greatly reduced from 80 liters to one. The entire facility is supported by renewable energy sources including wind and solar while minimising all waste products or reinventing them into building materials used to build orphanages in neighboring cities.
