Our Commitment to Sustainability

We care deeply about our planet. At CMT, we understand the critical role that sustainability plays in the future of our industry and the global environment and we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint while meeting the growing demands of our clients and the broader global community.

Our sustainability efforts are aligned with international targets for environmental and social responsibility, and we have taken tangible steps to reduce our impact throughout the supply chain—from sourcing raw materials to the final stages of garment production. We are continuously working to incorporate sustainable practices into every phase of our operations.

In recent years, we have made significant strides in reducing our environmental footprint, from increasing energy efficiency in our manufacturing processes to implementing water-saving technologies and reducing waste. Our journey is ongoing, and we continue to evolve by adopting innovative solutions and working closely with partners who share our vision for a more sustainable future.

While we are proud of our progress, we are mindful of the complexities of sustainability and remain focused on transparency and accountability. As the industry continues to evolve, so do we, by meeting the stringent requirements of our clients and certifying bodies, always striving to improve.
