To adopt responsible industrial practices on sustainable and responsible business transformation, GIZ FABRIC Asia since July 2019 has been supporting the Asian textile industry in its transformation towards fair production for people and the environment. With a strong focus on promoting greater cooperation and knowledge-sharing, the programme has been implemented in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Myanmar, Pakistan and Vietnam on below mentioned thematic areas for which the programme collaborated with government partners, industry stakeholders, workers, associations, academia and international buyers (brands).

FABRIC initiatives have improved productivity, sustainability performance, working conditions and compliance, mainly through capacity building of stakeholders in the textile and garment industry of Asia. The focused areas are Climate Action, Energy Efficiency, Water Use, Wastewater / Effluent, and Chemical Management. Moreover, to shape a better future towards sustainability and long-term growth, regional dialogues have been delivered via Sustainable Textile of the Asian Region (STAR) network and Asian Dialogue Series.
