From 1972, Being sustainable has been a great global concern. Both the government and the
common people are highly aware of it and are actively creating pressure on companies not
adhering to their movement. Impactful Global organizations like the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP), the UN High-Level Forum on Political Forum on Sustainable
Development, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are pushing
industries to abide by Environmental sustainability regulations. Even governments of some
nations are providing incentives to those trying to be sustainable and penalizing those not
abiding by the movement. Many companies from different industries are adhering to such
regulations and changing the production process of their goods or services to such an extent
that they would not harm the environment in any way. The Textile Industry, is such an industry
that fulfills one of the five primary needs of Human beings and every person residing on Earth
is using products produced by the Garments. Usually, Garment factories produce an immense
amount of industrial wastes and chemical wastes. Thus they are bound to be extra careful.

they promise and maintain sustainability measures.
