The apparel, footwear and textile industry’s alliance for sustainable production. Their vision is of an apparel, footwear, and textiles industry that produces no unnecessary environmental harm and has a positive impact on the people and communities associated with its activities.

The health and safety of workers has been an area of particular focus within the fashion industry for several years. We've signed the International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry, starting September 1, 2021. The International Accord is an independent, legally binding agreement between brands and trade unions which continues commitments to ensure a safe and healthy ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh and further seeks to establish worker safety programmes in other countries producing textiles and garments. Our purpose is to enable a working environment in which no worker needs to fear fires, building collapses, or other workplace accidents that could be prevented with reasonable health and safety measures.

A leading global business association for sustainable trade, amfori brings together over 2.400 retailers, importers, brands and associations across more than 40 countries and 42.000 engaged procuders worldwide, joined in the aim of improving the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance of their global value chains.

Worldly is a supply chain measurement and improvement system, built by 250+ industry thought leaders and stakeholders, which helps brands and retailers gather a better view of their value chain and find sustainability hotspots in their products, sourcing, and footprint, across carbon, water, chemistry, labour, and more. Worldly is the exclusive home of the Higg Index tools (Higg FEM, FSLM, PM, MSI, and BRM), facilitating data collection and insights needed for impact improvement, compliance, and disclosure. Across and beyond the apparel industry.

We’re proud to be teaming up with our industry peers by joining the Scandinavian Textile Initiative for Climate Action (STICA) since the beginning of 2021. We hope to better influence our supply chain partners to improve their environmental performance. STICA’s aim is to ensure the Swedish and Scandinavian textile industry does more than its share by becoming the first climate positive apparel and textiles industry in the world – well before 2050.

Since 2003, amfori BSCI (Business for Social Compliance Initiative) has enabled companies to trade with purpose by improving social performance in their supply chain. The foundation is a due diligence framework and a Code of Conduct with principles ranging from fair remuneration to no child labour, along with a step-by-step approach that enables companies to monitor, engage, get empowered and receive support to put sustainable trade at the heart of their business.

In 2021, NA-KD signed the SME Climate Hub commitment. Recognising that climate change poses a threat to the economy, nature and society-at-large, our company commits to take action immediately in order to:

• Halve our greenhouse gas emissions before 2030
• Achieve net zero emissions before 2050
• Disclose our progress on a yearly basis. We're proud to be recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, and join governments, businesses, cities, regions, and universities around the world that share the same important mission.

NA-KD is a member of the PFAS Movement in the fight against “forever chemicals”. Although we at NA-KD can proudly say that we have successfully phased out PFAS from our products, we will not be fully satisfied until every single company worldwide can say the same. We hope and believe that the PFAS Movement will be an important driver in achieving this vision.
