Sustainability
We firmly believe that the apparel and textile industry has a significant role to play in addressing pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges facing India and the world today. As we witness the ongoing battles against climate change, natural and human-made disasters, resource constraints, and labor issues, we recognize that our role as manufacturers demands a strategic and transformative approach to business.

Renewable resources
Our goal is to use only renewable energy for all our electricity needs by the year 2026. To achieve this, we plan to build more solar and wind power plants. We already have solar plants; the government has good policies that support renewable energy investments. To reach our renewable energy goals, we need favourable rules and regulations in all areas.

Recycling & waste management
We have a plan for managing waste and being more sustainable. We try to reduce waste right from the beginning, starting from the design phase and the materials we use. We track where waste comes from and look for ways to use it again in circular systems. In garment manufacturing, there are two types of waste: hazardous and non-hazardous. We are working with others in the industry to find better ways to handle waste and be more environmentally friendly.
The amount of fabric waste we produce depends on the designs and styles of the clothes we make. We are taking steps to create less waste, handle waste better, and recycle fabric before it becomes clothes. One challenge we face is that it’s hard to recycle fabrics made of different materials, like blends and synthetics. But we are determined to find solutions and work with creative people to develop new ways of recycling these fabrics.

rain water harvesting
Water is a necessary raw material for the fashion industry, with an annual global consumption. As water resources worldwide become increasingly stressed, water management and conservation are crucial for us. Guided by our water policy, we at Ahill undertake interventions to lower our water footprint at every stage of production. The following section highlights our attempt to move away from conventional water utilization and focus on ensuring conscious sourcing, consumption reduction, efficient usage, recycling, and reuse of water sources. Most of our water demand comes from processing, dyeing, and washing garments/textiles.
We get the water we need from two main sources:
Freshwater: This comes from different places like underground wells (groundwater), rain, rivers and lakes (surface water), and sometimes from water suppliers like the city (municipal supply) or water delivered by tankers.
Recycled water: This is the water we treat and reuse from our own processes. We try to recycle water as much as we can to reduce our impact on freshwater resources.

Chemical management
We use chemicals in making clothes, but we are committed to using them responsibly to protect our employees and the environment. Our policy follows global standards, and we carefully choose chemicals to meet strict requirements.
We use digital platforms to report on the chemicals we use and follow guidelines for wastewater testing. Our facilities have certifications like OEKO-TEX®️ STANDARD 100, which ensures our clothes are free from harmful substances.
