Two of the facilities of MAS Holdings, Sri Lanka’s ace garment manufacturer that has 53 facilities in over 16 countries employing 98,000 staff, is now the first from the country to bag awards at Global Chemical Leasing Awards in Vienna last month.
The awards recognize case studies and novelties in chemical leasing and promotes the application of innovative business models and innovations in sustainability.
The garment maker’s facilities bagged Gold in Special Innovation (Noyon Lanka) and Bronze in Case Studies (MAS Active Linea Intimo).
Notably, over 90 applications were considered from 20 nations, and Noyon Lanka and MAS Active Linea Intimo emerged as winners.
“Since MAS commenced its sustainability journey, Noyon has embraced the ‘green concept’ and driven projects to reflect this. These awards highlight the journey that Noyon has been on, and winning Gold for the Chemical Leasing Project for Waste Water Treatment as well as the National Energy Efficiency Awards, are the latest in its sustainability efforts,” said Ashiq Lafir, CEO, Noyon Lanka, in the press statement issued by the manufacturer.
