The textile and leather sectors are central to Pakistan’s economy and depend on the contributions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, the unsustainable use of resources and poor environmental management practices present a major threat to the sectors’ sustainability. In light of these intersecting challenges, WWF-Pakistan’s International Labour and Environmental Standards Application in Pakistan’s SMEs (ILES) project has set out to improve water and resource management practices and energy consumption in the textile and leather sectors, especially by resource-intensive SMEs, through multi-stakeholder approaches.
