Standard Textile Advances Commitment to Sustainability with Sustainability Impact Report and SBTi Pledge
CINCINNATI, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Textile Co., Inc., a global leader in healthcare and hospitality textiles, today announced the release of its 2024 Sustainability Impact Report and its commitment to the ScienceBased Targets initiative (SBTi), a global organization enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets grounded in the latest climate science. This dual milestone underscores Standard Textile's commitment to sustainable innovation, operations and transparency in environmental impact reporting.
In March 2025, Standard Textile took a significant step by officially registering its commitment with the SBTi. Over the next 24 months, the company will develop science-based emission reduction goals and submit them for validation, striving to meet global standards for emissions reduction.
The Sustainability Impact Report outlines the company's ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact through innovative practices and responsible operations. Readers can download a summary of the report or access the full version on the company's website.
"Our SBTi commitment and Sustainability Impact Report reflect our strategic approach to sustainability," said Alex Heiman, President of Standard Textile. "Long before sustainability became a movement, we made a conscious choice to focus on reusables because it was the right thing to do for our customers and our planet. Today, partnering with the SBTi allows us to set measurable goals and ensure meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future."
Sustainability is central to Standard Textile's purpose of "Inspiring Care and Comfort for Generations" by creating meaningful value for customers, communities, and the planet. As a global leader in textiles, Standard Textile recognizes that customers across healthcare and hospitality increasingly seek partners who share their commitment to sustainable practices.
"Our commitment to the SBTi is a significant step forward for Standard Textile and our global partners," said Jon Simon, Executive Vice President, Global Strategy and Growth. "By aligning our efforts with globally recognized standards, we're holding ourselves accountable. This approach ensures that we continue to innovate responsibly while meeting the growing expectations of our customers and partners worldwide."
