Brandix Casualwear bags M&S's 'Eco Factory Attribute'

Marks & Spencer's 'Plan A' initiative was launched in January 2007 to combat climate change, reduce waste, use sustainable raw materials, trade ethically, and help customers to lead healthier lifestyles. It encourages suppliers around the world to make their supply chains carbon neutral through Green manufacturing processes.

The Brandix Group is supported by 38 manufacturing locations in Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh. The Group provides direct employment to over 40,000 Associates in total, while providing indirect employment to at least an equivalent number. The Group's foray into India in the form of Brandix India Apparel City - a 1,000 acre self-sufficient industrial park - is based on the 'Fibre to Store' concept and uses the advantages of scale and strong business fundamentals to leverage global expertise to offer 'total solutions' within the site.

Brandix was the first apparel manufacturer in the world to receive ISO 50001 standard on energy management systems for its Eco Centre at Seeduwa, the Group's lead manufacturing plant for Marks & Spencer (M&S). In 2008, the Brandix Eco Centre became the first apparel factory in the world to receive a Platinum rating from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System of the US Green Building Council (USGBC). To date, four Brandix business units have received LEED certification.
