LEEDING INTO THE FUTURE
Interloop Denim LEED® Platinum Certified

Pushing forward our commitment to be a regional model of responsible manufacturing whilst maintaining globally recognized standards of operational efficiency, we are pleased to announce that Interloop’s Denim Plant has been awarded the prestigious LEED® Platinum Certification – the highest standard for any structure assigned by the US Green Building Council. This is a major milestone for which our teams have worked tirelessly over the past couple of years, building upon the success of Interloop’s Hosiery Plant 4 as the first socks facility in South Asia to receive LEED® Gold.

Interloop Denim was built and operationalized from the ground up to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards – a globally recognized symbol of sustainability, innovation, and efficiency. Our denim plant is now one of the largest apparel manufacturing facilities globally to attain LEED® v4 Platinum with a monthly production capacity of 1 million garments. This is an incredible achievement by our engineering and operational teams to have the entire facility of ~600,000 sq ft from raw materials to finished goods store be certified under v4 – the most advanced and transparent version so far. Interloop Denim is now one of the only twelve apparel manufacturing facilities in the world to be certified under this standard.

The denim plant has incorporated various innovative measures to improve its water efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, save energy, and reduce waste throughout the manufacturing process while ensuring a safe and healthy environment for its workers. This includes continuous air quality and temperature regulation throughout the building. Along with a modern day care facility available to all employees, the plant includes carefully designed green spaces including an urban forest planned to hold 3,000 trees in and around the building that further enhance worker comfort and wellbeing.

Sustainability Impacts Include:

• 53%   Saving in Energy Consumption
• 50%   Reduction in Potable Water Usage
• 30%   Overall Carbon Footprint Reduction
• 30%   Enhanced Fresh Air Intake for Better Occupant Comfort

Interloop’s highly advanced LEED® Platinum certified Denim Plant is yet another demonstration of our commitment to sustainability and is truly reflective of our core values focused on People, Planet, and Prosperity. Passionate about the products we make while being responsible stewards of our resources, Interloop continues to create dynamic work environments that are innovative, resource efficient, and safe for its workers. Interloop – True to Nature, True to You!
