We are dedicated to fostering a sustainable future and addressing the urgent challenge of climate change. Our corporate goal is to achieve a 25% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility and the health of our planet.

Key Elements of Our Carbon Emission Reduction Strategy:

We have set our reduction targets in line with the latest climate science, ensuring that our efforts meaningfully contribute to global climate goals. By adhering to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) framework, we are committed to reducing our absolute greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes.

Scope Emissions Management - Our strategy encompasses:

• We minimize direct emissions from our facilities through improved operational efficiencies and the adaptation of cleaner technologies.

• We are slowly transitioning to 100% renewable energy for our electricity needs - investing in solar, wind, and other sustainable energy sources.

• We recognize the significance of our supply chain emissions and work closely with our suppliers to implement best practices, reduce waste, and promote sustainable sourcing.

• We are committed to enhancing our energy efficiency through innovative practices, such as upgrading equipment, optimizing processes and fostering a culture of sustainability among our employees.

• For emissions that cannot be eliminated, we invest in verified carbon offset projects, such as reforestation and renewable energy initiatives, to neutralize our remaining footprint.

• We believe that every team member plays a vital role in achieving our sustainability goals. We provide training and resources to empower our employees to contribute actively to our carbon reduction initiatives.

• We maintain transparency by regularly reporting our progress through sustainability disclosures and third-party assessments. This commitment to accountability helps us track our achievements and adjust our strategies as needed.

• We recognize that collaboration is key to success. We engage with our stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, and local communities—to promote shared sustainability goals and foster a collective approach to carbon reduction.

At GAWAS we are excited about the journey ahead and are committed to being a leader in corporate textile sustainability.

Our goal is not just to meet our carbon reduction targets, but to inspire others in the industry to take bold actions for a healthier planet.

Together, we can create a sustainability for generations to come.
