Transparent & Ethical Production
We maintain a strict audit trail for all raw materials and uphold rigorous standards for ethical manufacturing and working conditions. Our facilities hold relevant accreditations, and we welcome our partners’ own compliance and vetting processes as part of a shared commitment to transparency.
Sustainable Progress
Sustainability at FTS Global isn’t a fixed goal – it’s an ongoing process. We’re continuously evolving our sustainable practices to reduce environmental impact and support a lower-carbon future for the fashion industry, while embracing responsible partnerships across our global supply chain.
We embed sustainability and traceability into every stage of our supply chain, maintaining full compliance with leading global certifications. This includes sourcing regenerative and organic cotton for fashion and home textiles, upholding ethical sourcing through detailed documentation, and working exclusively with Fair Trade, BSCI, ROC, and GOTS-certified manufacturers.
We also prioritise the use of water-efficient, low-impact printing and dyeing technologies across our production processes – minimizing environmental impact while delivering the highest quality results.

At FTS Global, we’re constantly evolving and looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the apparel industry and the overall environment – with a particular focus on supporting a lower carbon future.
Sustainability is a continuous journey, and we’re committed to evolving our practices to operate more responsibly at every level.
Partnering for Impact
In 2023, we began working with Carbon Trail, a consultancy specialising in the apparel and footwear sector. This collaboration marks a key step in our sustainability efforts, allowing us to assess our current emissions and take meaningful action toward long-term change.
Our Net-Zero Roadmap
With Carbon Trail’s guidance, we’ve developed a structured roadmap to reach net-zero for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. This involves identifying and implementing decarbonisation initiatives that will deliver consistent, measurable reductions year after year.
Driving Real Change
Our approach is practical and focused. By setting clear targets and tracking progress, we’re holding ourselves accountable while supporting our partners’ own environmental goals. Together, we’re working towards a more sustainable and resilient fashion supply chain.
Charities We Support
At FTS Global, we care deeply about giving back. For this reason, we work with incredible charities that are making a significant difference and improving lives.
Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital
Dr. Shroff’s Eye Hospital is dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness and deafness in India by delivering quality care to all sections of society. FTS Global supports the organisation’s mission through financial donations, helping to further its impact in preventing blindness.
