AMSTERDAM – Fashion for Good’s Good Fashion Fund has struck its first deal as it looks to support manufacturers in their transition to more sustainable working environments.
India’s Pratibha Syntex is the beneficiary, and has been granted US$4.5 million to help equip its spinning, processing and garmenting divisions with technologies that will reduce water, energy and chemical usage.
