Access to Activities & Capacity Building

Members gain exclusive access to various RTL-led initiatives that promote sustainability in the textile and fashion sector. This includes attending programs, workshops, and events, either for free or at discounted rates depending on the event terms. RTL also provides its members with valuable development opportunities such as training, mentorship, and select business services.

Members may be invited to speak at RTL events or contribute to collaborative campaigns, helping expand their impact across the ecosystem. Additionally, for certain events or services, RTL offers special discounts or priority access, with details communicated in advance.

Branding & Visibility

Membership in RTL also comes with visibility benefits. Members receive an official certificate valid for one year, affirming their commitment to sustainable practices. RTL actively promotes its members through public-facing channels such as websites, newsletters, and social media campaigns.

With prior approval, member logos may be displayed on the RTL website and other promotional materials. Furthermore, RTL supports its members’ initiatives by amplifying relevant news, campaigns, and success stories through its communication platforms—helping members gain broader recognition for their sustainability efforts.

Financial Benefits & Collaboration Potential

RTL encourages collaboration and innovation by offering business matchmaking and networking opportunities to its members. In the first year, there is no membership fee, allowing organizations and individuals to explore benefits without financial barriers. 

Members are invited to join the broader RTL community, where they can exchange ideas and collaborate with actors across the value chain—both within Indonesia and internationally.
