PURPOSE

Using business as a force for good

Our 2025 mandate

We are constantly evolving, searching for way to reduce our impact on the environment

We are proud to become the first factory in Asia and the only large-scale manufacturer of denim with B Corporation™ Certification. Achieving B Corp™ is an opportunity for us to communicate, spread impact, and strengthen the community who is redefining responsible production.

98% Recycled Water + 2% Evaporated = Zero Discharge

Recycling can have a significant impact on cost and natural resources. By changing some traditional practices in denim manufacturing process to decrease our water consumption, not only do we reduce the harm to our planet, but also save over $400,000 per year. Just one example of how recycling can be profitable.

Clean and renewable energy

Through our commitment to conserving energy by deploying an aerial-drying system, recapturing heat, using natural lighting, and investing into solar energy, we have reduced our energy usage by 13 million kilowatt-hours per year – and reduced CO2 emissions by nearly 80%.

A sustainable legacy - built Brick-by-Brick

All wastewater treatment plants create a byproduct called sludge. But at SAITEX, the sludge is extracted and shipped to a nearby brick factory. Mixed with concrete, the material can no longer leech on the environment, and the resulting bricks are used to build affordable homes for the people in need.

People matters

We believe business must be a force for good

By mobilizing the power of business, we are working towards reducing inequality, lower levels of poverty, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and the creation of more high-quality jobs with dignity and purpose.

Empowering the next generation

We support 3 orphanages which house 800 children. As these children turn 18, they are offered the opportunity to be trained at SAITEX, and offered jobs with equal pay, respect, and dignity.

Food for good

Access to affordable and clean food is a basic human right. In our continuous mission to create a positive social impact and in association with Everlane, we have installed our very own hydroponic and clean farming system at our facilities. The result is healthy food for our community, while creating jobs that generate social interaction, employment with equal pay, and respect to some of the most vulnerable groups of our community.

Support gender equality

We believe that gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Not only 58% of our workforce are women, but many have risen to key positions within SAITEX.

People first

Some see them as workers. We see them as family. Giving back to the community and making a difference to humanity has always been of great importance to SAITEX.

Innovation matters

We believe in harnessing the power of today’s innovations, to build the world of tomorrow

We see Industry 4.0 as a real opportunity for our business to redefine the relationship of the present economy with resources.

Embracing industry 4.0

Working in direct cooperation with our associates, robots are the perfect physical and cognitive partners.

Pushing boundaries through technology

The combination of cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Everything, makes Industry 4.0 possible and the concept of a smart factory at SAITEX a reality.

Big data as the lifeblood of the smart factory

Big data helps us to control and improve every aspect of our operations. This allows us to not only to boost our productivity, enhance our processes, and drive growth, but to also put our partners at the center of this transformation. In short, more power and knowledge for more good.

Meaningful innovations

Utilizing the latest manufacturing techniques such as laser to etch off a fine layer of fiber and color from jeans, we have transformed a 20-30 minute manual process down to 90 seconds, to get the same result. Allowing us to produce superior products in a hybrid/collaborative method with our associates, and in less time for our clients.
