In this report, a primary target of ISKO is to achieve bluesign®  APPROVED  accreditation  for  its  denim  textiles,  attaining  the  strictest  industry standard for consumers and environment alike. 

With the goal of completing this process by the end of 2020, the company has already performed bluesign® COMPANY ASSESSMENT at an above-average level.

These distinct qualities in combination with a determined commitment to a sustainable supply chain makes ISKO a true leader in the textile industry. We look forward to the next impactful steps we will take together.” Jill Dumain, CEO, bluesign technologies.
