Sympatex receives B Lab sustainability certification
MUNICH – Functional textile specialist Sympatex Technologies has received US-based NGO B Lab’s ‘2019 Best for the World’ award, after landing in the top 10 per cent of all B Corp certified companies in recognition of its environmental responsibility. It comes on the heels of its 2018 B Corp certification for corporate social responsibility.
It received the award for initiatives such as the wear2wear European industry partnership that it created – in order to close the textile loop – for offering the world’s first climate-neutral membrane and for being a co-developer and signatory of the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action.
