It emboldens our resolve further to tread this path of sustainability that we have been doing for the last 23 years. We still have a long way to go. I assure that the collective leadership of Pratibha will forever pursue whatever is necessary to be ‘More than Responsible Textiles’.
We have been working hard to create a self-reliant farming community that is engaged in climate-resilient and climate-supportive regenerative and organic agriculture. Furthering these efforts on textile processes, we have been striving to have minimum environmental impact and maximum social impact.”
