When Sustainability Reported with Credible Standards
The global textile and apparel industry faces growing pressure to operate transparently, responsibly, and sustainably. International markets—especially in the European Union, North America, and parts of Asia—are increasingly demanding clear, standardized sustainability reporting to demonstrate compliance with environmental and social standards.
In Indonesia, while many textile and apparel companies are aware of sustainability issues, reporting practices remain fragmented and inconsistent. This lack of uniform reporting makes it difficult for stakeholders—including buyers, regulators, and the public—to accurately assess the sector’s environmental and social impact. As a result, local businesses risk being excluded from high-value international markets that now require credible and comparable sustainability data.
Impactful Sustainability Reporting

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the world’s most widely used framework for sustainability reporting.
