Environmental Sustainability

Auko-Tex Group does understand that environment goes with reaction theory- it returns what we give to it. If the cycle of nature collapses somewhere, the earth cries and we pay for it directly or indirectly. ATG strives hard to decontaminate the emitting air out of the factory, gives efforts to decompose every drop of contaminated water and devotes to enrich the soil.

Projects Relating to Environmental Sustainability:

Better Cotton Initiative (BCI):

- In 2012, ATG joined BCI based in Geneva, Switzerland. Its aim is to bring together producers, ginners, mills,

traders, manufacturers, retailers, brands and civil society organizations in unique global community.

- The focuses are 1. to demonstrate the inherent benefits of cotton production for farmers 2. to reduce

impact of water and pesticide use on human and environmental health.

- BCI cares about matters of women, child labor, wages, health, safety and forced labor.

- Through the program ATG uses around 60% of better cotton which is quite more than its yearly

commitment of 20% of uses.

Organic Trade Association (OTA):

- Yasin Knittex Industries Ltd is an associate member of OTA since 22 April 2013.

- Its mission is to promote and protect organic farming and trade to the benefit of environment,

farmers, public and economy.

Water Foot-print Network:

- ATG has been a regular partner since April, 2013. One of its main purpose is to give guidelines for

decreasing water use in the factory (ATG’s water uses per kg fabric production decreased from 235

liter to 157 liter with water foot print) of water for per kg fabric production, with introduction of CP

157 liter and after PaCT 94 Liker).

- In fact, Water Footprint Network takes a much broader perspectives to address the impacts caused by

population growth, urbanization, climate change and unsustainable uses.

Cleaner Production (CP) under PaCT:

- ATG joined IFC-supported CP in 2011. It addresses the impacts caused by population growth, urbanization,

climate change and unsustainable uses.

- It focuses on wet processes and energy savings.

- Benefits of CP Project in Auko-Tex Group are saving energy by replacing the T8 fluorescent light to T5 one

and the conventional motor to servo motor for the Vacuum iron table.

- It also saves energy by insulating the steam pipe lines and boiler feed tank.

Partnership for Cleaner Textile (PaCT):

- Being selected as the best Cleaner Production (CP) factory by CP project, Auko-Tex Group had

been approached by IFC to join a deep program called PaCT in January 2013.

- Main focus of the Project is deep dive for cleaner production, energy, water footprint, carbon

footprint and zero discharge and to gain competitive advantages in the long run with

environmental sustainability.

- In PaCT, ATG invested A. $ 70000/= for installation of a new lean burner in gas generator B. $

40,000/= for boiler, Cochran C. $ 25,000/= for water flow meter, ETP and utilities D. 85,000/=

for lights E. 40,000/= for ROI. And it is expected that ATG would pay back the cost in 2 years.

H2O Insight Project:

- In 2013, ATG joined this website-based H2O Insight Project developed by C*Insight to gather data

on wastewater quality and control methods through the supply chain.

- The online Project allowed for the submission of wastewater and water use for sharing laboratory

test, certifications, discharge permits and regional regulatory standards, and these should meet the

sustainable water group guideline like sampling and traditional parameters, chemical constituents,

zero tolerance activities, publicly owned treatment works along with other requirements.

3R Project (as Coming Project)

3R is a new Project with ATG. The principles of 3Rs are to reduce waste, reuse and recycle resources and

products.

- “Reducing” means choosing to use items with care to reduce the amount of waste generated.

- “Reusing” involves repeated use of items or parts of items which still have usable aspects.

- “Recycling” means the use of waste itself as resources. In fact, some of the ideas of 3R- “Reduce, Reuse and

Recycle”, have been idealized and practiced by us under some other banners with different Auko-Tex

Projects.

Tree Plantation Program

Auko-Tex Group distributes a huge number of saplings among its workers and staffs twice in a year at the time of religious festival

Solar Power Project:For the Renewable power generation, solar power project is considered to be undertaken. At the initial stage for security light, outer perimeter and for the stairs of the factory buildings are planned to connect with the solar power system. In next phase, solar power would be used for running the Factory.

Rain Water Harvesting: Rain water harvesting is considered to undertake for using huge rain water in the rainy season. This water would be a valuable source of water for the Factory.

Use of Treated ETP Water for Toilet Flushing, Gardening and Irrigation: Huge water is being used for flushing of the toilets and gardening in the Factory and irrigation purpose. Since significant amount of treated ETP water is being drained out, this water would be used for said purpose.

Push Sensor/ Tapping System: Huge water and Electric power are being misused because of negligence and lack of awareness among the workers. Sensor system for using of the water and electricity would be introduced.

Heat Recovery for the Generator (Co-Generation): Exhaust hot air from the generator would be used for co-generation with EGB (Exhaust Gas Boiler), Chillier and/or Water Heater.

Use of Natural Light for the Floor: Some arrangements would be worked out to inflow the natural lights to the floors of the Factory. This would reduce considerable energy for required lighting purpose.

Future Plan for Environment

Continuous Sludge Recovery System: We are having the practice of making sludge cakes and send it to brick fields. In future continuous sludge recovery system would be installed for faster and effective sludge recovery.

Carbon Neutral Programme: We are in a continuous effort to introduce advanced technologies and machines which require less power and causes less emission of carbon. Tree plantation programme will be undertaken in the available vacant lands of this company in bigger scale. Besides, purchasing a tea estate as a part of our carbon neutral program is under active consideration.

• Establishing a Training Center for the Garment Workers for Sewing Purpose.

• Arrangement for Accommodation in Large Scale for the Workers.
