INDUSTRIES
Textile & Fashion
An established textile and apparel manufacturer with its own retail brand faced growing ESG scrutiny from international buyers and consumers across design, production, and distribution.
THE CHALLENGE
Market expectations ahead of internal capability
Water- and energy-intensive processes, limited supply-chain transparency, and ad hoc sustainability investments made ESG claims difficult to substantiate, while liquidity pressure and traditional financing did not align with sustainability goals or EU Green Deal requirements.
Greenwashing exposure
Energy and water inefficiency
Traditional debt constraints
