Business Responsibility & Sustainability – Holy Threads

Business Responsibility & Sustainability Statement

Introduction

At Holy Threads, sustainability is woven into our identity. We believe fashion should not only look good but also do good — for people, for communities, and for the planet. Guided by the principles of responsible business conduct as outlined in the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC) and the BRSR framework, we are committed to creating long-term value through ethical sourcing, fair practices, environmental care, and customer trust.

Our current product line focuses on premium heavyweight T-shirts (240 GSM and above), known for durability and superior quality. As we grow, we aim to integrate sustainability into every stage of our value chain — from vendor selection and production to packaging, delivery, and customer engagement.
