PLANET

The fashion industry’s rapid growth has led to significant environmental consequences, contributing to global carbon emissions and water supply depletion.

Today, however, many stakeholders are committed to improving the present to create a better future by adopting sustainable practices that prioritise environmental responsibility.

Echo Sourcing’s environmental practices have been adopted from Echotex, a factory we have built from the ground up with the planet considered in every step of its creation. By leveraging the insights and successes from Echotex, Echo Sourcing ensures that sustainability remains at the core of its operations when working with partner factories.

As a design-to-delivery garment supplier, Echo Sourcing collaborates with multiple factories globally. To ensure environmental responsibility across its diverse supply chain, Echo Sourcing has established a universal environmental standard that all partner factories are required to follow. This standard encompasses key environmental focus areas – environmental management system, energy and water resources, wastewater, chemical management, air emissions, and waste management – primarily addressing global warming and water scarcity.

If any partner factory has not yet implemented an environmental initiative, Echo Sourcing will encourage and support the development of one, ensuring that sustainability remains an integral part of their operations.

Efficient Machinery

We ensure that all machinery is energy-efficient, minimising carbon footprint and reducing energy consumption.

Renewable Energy

We check that factories are powered by renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on non-renewable resources.

Water Management

We verify that sustainable water management practices are in place to reduce consumption and minimise wastewater impact.

waste Management

We ensure that waste reduction and recycling processes are implemented to divert waste from landfills and promote a circular economy.

PEOPLE

Echo Sourcing works with factories around the world to ensure that all workers are cared for and paid fairly. We are committed to upholding the highest standards for working conditions across our supply chain. When Echo built the Echotex factory, all considerations were made for worker welfare and wellbeing, setting a benchmark for what we expect from our partner factories. By partnering only with factories that align with our core values and by implementing robust monitoring systems, we aim to safeguard worker well-being and promote fair wages. These practices have been inspired by the principles established at Echotex, where ensuring worker welfare has been a foundational priority. Echo Sourcing extends these values globally, striving to create a positive impact on the lives of all workers within our network.

Fair Pay

We ensure that all garment factory workers receive fair pay that meets or exceeds local living wage standards.

Working Conditions

We verify that working conditions in all factories are safe, hygienic, and compliant with international labour standards.

Equal Rights

We check that all workers, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or disability, are treated equally and with respect.

Zero
Tolerance

We ensure that there is zero tolerance for child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking in our supply chain and that all workers are employed voluntarily.

The demand for sustainable materials is increasing, but recycled fibers remain a challenge due to their higher price tags and limitations in recycling technologies. Additionally, the production of virgin fossil-based synthetics continues to rise, threatening to undermine the industry’s climate commitments.

We ensure that our global sourcing network aligns with our values of sustainability, quality, and innovation. By leveraging the expertise gained from Echotex, we continue to push boundaries in providing high-quality products without compromising on environmental and social standards.
