Enabling #Decarbonisation for Tier 2 / Tier 3 suppliers in the T&A supply chain   As global brands continue to prioritize the reduction of Scope 3 emissions, it is essential to recognize that Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers—who account for 60-70% of the supply chain—are facing significant challenges. These include: 👉Limited technical capacity 👉Lack of awareness around low-carbon solutions, and 👉Barriers related to financing.   At Intellecap, we are committed to supporting the industry’s decarbonisation journey. To this end, Circular Apparel Innovation Factory (CAIF) recently launched a series of #SupplierDecarbonisation workshops.   The first event took place in Tirupur this November and brought together over 40 suppliers working with prominent brands such as H&M, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd., and Decathlon International.   The workshop aimed to deepen suppliers' understanding of decarbonisation and explore practical solutions.   🌟 Key Highlights from the Workshop:  ✔️Decarbonisation Priorities ✔️Practical Solutions for Emissions Reduction ✔️Innovative Solutions and Expert Guidance ✔️Roundtable Discussions and Networking   Key Areas to Address:  Support from Brands, Expertise Gaps, Biomass Challenges, Investment Concerns, Regulatory Understanding, Top Management Commitment   Despite these challenges, suppliers are optimistic, recognizing decarbonisation as an opportunity to innovate and future-proof their businesses. Companies like Leshark (India), Kpr Spinning Mills Private Limited, Shahi Exports Pvt Ltd, Victus Dyeings, Eastman Exports Global Clothing Pvt Ltd., S R Apparels, and BKS Textiles Private Limited are all making strides in this direction.

At Aavishkaar Group, and through the course of Sankalp Forum, we honour and celebrate those rare individuals who have had a profound impact on the Industry, the communities and for us. We do this through the "Prerna Sammaan Award" which recognizes visionaries who have dared to dream. The inaugural Prerna Sammaan was conferred to Shri. Vijay Mahajan, the co-founder and founder of some of India’ well-known livelihoods and social enterprise groups: Professional Assistance For Development Action (PRADAN), and the BASIX Social enterprise group and the second Perna Sammaan was conferred to Smt. Sunitha Krishnan, Indian social activist and chief functionary and co-founder of Prajwala. This year, at the Sankalp Bharat Summit 2024, we are delighted and privileged to honour Shri. Pravin Gandhi with the Prerna Sammaan Award and celebrate a remarkable leader who has had an everlasting impact for the Industry and for us.
