This clothing factory in Sri Lanka is a visionary departure from standard approaches. It claims to be the world’s first clothing factory powered solely by carbon-neutral sources, with the payback period for the extra cost of making the building sustainable of only five years.

The health and well-being of staff is central to the design of the factory. The building offers a comfortable, healthful, and attractive indoor environment for all users. As part of its service to employees, the plant provides bus transport to and from the factory for staff, as well as on-site meals, medical care and banking.

The production floor is divided into separate areas where works collaborate in autonomous teams, enhancing productive and employee satisfaction. The eco-factory is an ethical response to consumers who called for stronger environmental stewardship. The beautiful and stimulating environment is uplifting: the factory is a place where people are considered with respect and dignity.
