Global textile innovation and apparel manufacturing business, Alphine Group has adopted the Future-Fit Business Benchmark. Aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the science-based strategic management tool defines the destination for businesses wishing to evaluate the initiatives needed to be undertaken for credible action towards a future-fit society.
Ashok Mahtani, Co-founder and Chairman, Alpine Group says, the tool enables them to accelerate change by bringing the rest of the industry – brands and partners alike – on this journey with them. “We do it so that our innovation and manufacturing can positively impact the entire value chain,” he says.
Lewis Shuler, Head-Innovation, Paradise Textiles, Alpine Group’s dedicated innovation hub adds, what the industry needs to make fashion fit for future is more collaboration on further solutions from all angles. “Our sustainability innovations include textile-to-textile recycling technologies and processes to minimize waste at scale” he adds.
As per an Apparel Resources report, Alpine Group’s announcement as the first textile innovation and apparel manufacturing business globally to adopt the Future-Fit Business Benchmark follows the recent launch of its Factory of the Future as part of Alex Apparels’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Egypt. Set to open in late 2022, the factory is expected to provide an additional 2,000+ jobs for the local community.
