This pivotal decision underscores Angie’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the production process and promotes sustainable development through concrete actions, moving towards a greener and more responsible future.
The production process of uniforms involves a complex series of steps, from material sourcing to service provision, with each stage potentially impacting the environment, particularly regarding carbon emissions. Recognizing its environmental responsibility, Angie has prioritized addressing this challenge by integrating the S-Carbon into its operations.
Mr. Kevin Fong, Managing Director of Angie International Limited, said “Our specialized processes and diverse supply chain require a tailored approach to sustainability. The S-Carbon provides precise and actionable data, enabling us to effectively monitor and manage carbon emissions at every stage. This tool is essential to our steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship while ensuring we maintain the creativity and quality that set us apart in the market.”
Mr. Billy Lai, Deputy Director of Business Assurance for SGS in Hong Kong, said “Integrating the S-Carbon reinforces Angie’s dedication to achieving a low-carbon production model. By systematically addressing carbon emissions, the company exemplifies how traditional manufacturing industries can innovate while reducing their environmental impact. As Angie continues to embrace its mission of advancing functionality in uniform design while contributing to societal well-being, S-Carbon will play a central role in enabling it to lead the way toward a carbon-conscious future.”
How will S-Carbon Comprehensive Digital Carbon Management Platform make Angie’s uniform production operations more sustainable?
- Monitoring the supply chain: Steps such as fabric dyeing and blending often result in significant energy consumption due to the high temperatures and extensive machinery involved. These processes may produce emissions from the use of fossil fuel-based energy sources, further contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The S-Carbon enables Angie to effectively address these challenges by providing precise GHG data at every stage of production, enhancing visibility and accountability within its supply chain.
- Strengthening recycling initiatives: Angie operates a robust uniform recycling system, repurposing used uniforms to create new ones. While recycling and upcycling are not direct processes for reducing carbon emissions, S-Carbon provides Angie essential insights, enabling it to optimize its operations and more effectively manage emissions associated with the overall production process.
- Data transparency: S-Carbon allows Angie to provide transparent carbon emissions data, meeting customer expectations while aligning with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
- Responding to current market needs: By quantifying and analyzing carbon emissions generated during the production and processing of these specialized fabrics, S-Carbon helps Angie in adopting an environmentally conscious approach while balancing innovation and the functionality of uniforms. This enables Angie to effectively meet customer needs, align with sustainability goals, and minimize environmental impact in uniform design and manufacturing.
