Supply chain digitalization: Change-ready operations with real-time agility
Founded in 1956, Lever Style has repeatedly reinvented how it operates to stay ahead of shifting fashion cycles. Today, Lever Style is the go-to platform for modern brands to create, test, and scale production seamlessly using a high-mix low-volume approach, which shapes both its business model and the tools it builds. Rather than tie output to fixed, owned capacity, Lever Style orchestrates a network of specialist factories across seven Asian countries and uses its own digital systems to route work where it can be executed best. The point isn’t technology for its own sake; it’s about changing how services are delivered so decisions are faster, complexity is simplified, and production can move with confidence when the market moves.
The company’s agility was proven in 2025 when US tariffs changed. Lever Style reconfigured processes quickly to keep orders moving, limiting disruption to timelines and costs. Similar responsiveness plays out every season, as styles change late or forecasts are revised. A unified internal data warehouse powers Lever Style’s proprietary and AI-enabled applications, giving teams a single source of truth. With AI-powered rendering and a robust digital asset library, teams can also deliver virtual samples that meet buyer expectations with fewer physical iterations, compressing development cycles and cutting sampling costs.
Quality follows from this operating discipline. In 2024, Lever Style recorded zero product recalls related to safety or health and no product quality complaints, reflecting consistent processes across its partner network. Because the platform can shift orders among qualified factories as conditions change, it maintains standards while preserving lead times. The combination of a platform business model, real-time coordination, and digital-first workflows has shortened product calendars, improved responsiveness, and supported scale without degrading quality, which are key reasons for the company’s recognition in Supply Chain Digitalization.
Carbon neutrality: A long-standing sustainability ethos, formalized with time-bound targets
Sustainability has always been part of Lever Style’s DNA. Partnering with WWF in 2009, the company embraced environmental responsibility before it became an industry standard. That early commitment was reinforced in 2023 when Lever Style earned B-Corp certification, recognizing verified performance across environmental and social criteria.
Today, this approach is reflected in how the group partners with brands around the world. By using a high-mix, low-volume model, Lever Style enables brands to place smaller, more frequent orders and receive products closer to when they need them. This approach reduces overproduction and storage-related emissions, avoiding the energy and transport impact linked to excess inventory. Moreover, the same process extends across the company’s value chain—from leveraging digital prototyping to remove the need for physical samples, to using zero-discharge washing systems in its development center that ensure no contaminated wastewater is released into the environment. Together, these practices help to minimize waste and conserve resources.
Lever Style’s progress is supported by tangible results: the company nearly halved non-hazardous waste in 2024, reducing hazardous waste by over 80 percent. The group has also reached a meaningful milestone on its sustainability journey, achieving carbon neutrality for its 2024 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under the ISO 14068 standard. By reducing emissions and investing in green electricity and high-quality offsets, Lever Style now operates as a carbon-neutral company.
By helping its brand partners reach their sustainability goals while improving efficiency and reducing waste, Lever Style shows that responsible production can be scaled effectively across the apparel industry—earning recognition in the Carbon Neutrality category of the Just Style Excellence Awards.
“We are honored to receive the recognition for Digital Innovation and Carbon Neutrality from Just Style. At Lever Style, we see agility and responsibility as essential to the apparel industry. We work closely with over 150 fashion brands across premium, digital, and technical segments, supporting them through a high-mix, low-volume production model that reduces waste and excess while meeting the highest quality standards. We continue to invest in sustainable practices and digital tools that improve efficiency and transparency across our supply chain. This recognition affirms our ongoing commitment to building a more adaptable and responsible fashion industry.”
