PT Kewalram Indonesia, meanwhile, is one of the largest integrated textile manufacturers in Indonesia, having spinning, embroidery and dye house under one umbrella. 

“The new contributors are quite diverse, each one comes from a different part of the industry and a different part of the world,” says ZDHC. “This diversity highlights the success of our efforts to deepen ZDHC’s impact throughout the global industry. We are delighted to have them on board and look forward to working together in the coming years.”

The organisation also welcomed UK fitness apparel and accessories brand Gymshark as a ‘Friend’ of ZDHC – a company that wants to learn more about ZDHC, using the group’s tools to enhance its own sustainable chemical management journey.
