The Sustainable Textile Summit, an esteemed initiative by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), stands as a pivotal platform dedicated to advancing the sustainability agenda within India’s textile and apparel sector. With sustainability becoming an urgent imperative in the global fashion and textile supply chain, the summit has consistently united thought leaders, industry pioneers, policy architects, innovators, academia, and environmental advocates under one roof to explore actionable strategies for a greener and more inclusive future.
​
Since its inception, the Summit has evolved into a dynamic knowledge exchange and collaborative hub, focusing on key aspects such as eco-conscious production, circularity in design, green technologies, and climate-resilient supply chains. It has served as a catalyst for transformation, enabling textile stakeholders to align with national and global sustainability mandates, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and India's Net-Zero commitments.
Through high-impact panel discussions, technical sessions, and case study presentations, the Summit has ignited critical discourse on reducing environmental footprints, promoting ethical labor practices, and accelerating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) adoption in business operations. Moreover, the event has played a significant role in promoting indigenous innovation, empowering MSMEs, and connecting traditional textile clusters with modern sustainable practices.
By championing responsible sourcing, energy-efficient technologies, and biodegradable and recycled materials, the Sustainable Textile Summit continues to shape the future of India’s textile industry, fostering competitiveness while ensuring long-term ecological balance and social responsibility.
