Sustainability Impact winner and finalist 2024

Meet the International Quality Awards Sustainability Impact winner and finalist

This award, in partnership with BAM, awards the winner on the initiative which best translates environmental, social and governance policy and objectives to improve process, product and service outcomes for existing and future stakeholders. 

Meet the winner: Hayleys Fabric   

.

Former Sustainability Impact winners, Hayleys Fabric, have once again been recognised for their continued commitment to the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda. New initiatives include an effective water reduction programme and an innovative underwear fabric. This innovation ensures women and young girls in rural communities have autonomy over their personal care, enabling them to continue to work and attend school while menstruating. 

They are pushing to achieve great results, reduce their negative impact on the environment, and they actively seek opportunities to make a positive impact.
