MAS Holdings Expands Sustainability Roadmap with New bluesign® Partnerships 📈

Sri Lanka’s largest apparel manufacturer, MAS Holdings, has announced a significant advancement in its "Plan for Change 2030" sustainability strategy. • Key Milestone: Two major subsidiaries—Texo (Pvt) Ltd (cotton fabric processing) and Noyon Lanka (knitted lace)—have officially become bluesign® System Partners. • Strategic Impact: With these additions, 75% of MAS’s wet processing facilities now align with the highest global standards for responsible chemical management. • Operational Standards: Adoption of Input Stream Management to ensure only approved chemical products are used. Utilization of digital platforms (CUBE, FINDER, and GUIDE) for enhanced traceability and performance measurement. Rigorous independent assessments across knitting, dyeing, finishing, and laminating processes. • Economic Context: This move strengthens the local supply chain for the apparel & textiles sector, reinforcing Sri Lanka's position as a hub for responsible and future-ready manufacturing for global brand partners. This follows the 2023 milestone where MAS Fabrics – Intimo became Asia’s first seamless textile mill to achieve this status, signaling a scaled commitment to reducing environmental impact across the textile supply chain.
