Bandung, October 1st, 2024 – Rantai Tekstil Lestari (RTL) played a prominent role at The 3rd Control Union Indonesia Sustainability Conference, held at Pullman Bandung Grand Central. With the theme “Sustainability, The Ultimate Game Changer,” the conference highlighted the importance of sustainable textiles, garments, and recycling practices through global standards certification.
Redefining Sustainability
RTL Chairman Basrie Kamba was invited as a keynote speaker, taking part in the Textile Customer Gathering 2024, a key session within the conference. In his address, Mr. Kamba shared insights on the trends and challenges facing Indonesia’s textile, garment, and footwear (TPT) industry, particularly in its transition toward sustainable practices.
He emphasized two critical points for the industry’s future:
The importance of an ecosystem approach and transparency across the entire supply chain.
The role of regulation and stakeholder collaboration as essential drivers for scaling sustainability efforts from upstream to downstream.
Conversation Across Stakeholders
The event brought together diverse stakeholders, creating a platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and explore strategies to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices across Indonesia’s textile industry.
As part of the Control Union World Group, PT PCU Indonesia continues to advance global certification standards that support businesses in meeting sustainability goals and adapting to today’s market challenges. RTL’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to championing sustainable transformation in Indonesia’s textile sector through multi-stakeholder engagement and knowledge sharing.
“Sustainability is no longer optional for the textile industry — it is the foundation of our competitiveness. By working together with transparency, clear regulations, and strong stakeholder collaboration, we can ensure that Indonesia’s textile sector not only survives but thrives in the global market.”
