sustainability

In 2020, we took a significant step towards sustainability by acquiring our initial set of solar panels. Since then, we’ve expanded the panel capacity and implemented precise measurement systems to track their output and usage. This allows us to accurately gauge the impact of our solar energy generation, leading to a reduction in our environmental footprint. Through optimal use of solar energy, we align our operations with specific needs, maximizing benefits.

Although the limited space on our factory’s roof constrains the solar panels capacity to meet all our energy needs, we supplement our generation with grid-supplied energy. To mitigate environmental impact, we’ve proactively secured a contract with our energy supplier, ensuring that all grid-supplied energy is exclusively from renewable sources.

2023 energy Sources

Over the last few years we have implemented the various relevant Certifications, including the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Recycled Standard (GRS), and Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) as well as Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), play a pivotal role in TMR’s sustainability

Commitment. GOTS ensures our products meet rigorous organic standards, reflecting our dedication to environmental and social responsibility. GRS certifies our use of recycled materials, emphasizing traceability and socially responsible practices. SMETA validates ethical trade practices within our supply chain, reinforcing fair labor and responsible business conduct. RWS signifies our commitment to responsibly sourced wool, contributing to animal welfare and sustainable farming. These certifications bolster TMR’s credibility as a sustainable textile manufacturer, fostering transparency and trust among stakeholders. They serve as tangible evidence of our continuous efforts to contribute to a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry.
