We are excited to share our 2024 Sustainability Report! On this World Environment Day, established by the United Nations to shine a global spotlight on the environmental challenges of our time, we are proud to share our commitment to raising awareness and taking action to collectively protect our natural resources. Elevate and its portfolio of distinguished textile brands – American & Efird, Burlington Fabrics, Cone Denim, A&E Gütermann, and Safety Components – value driving real action through meaningful partnerships, advancements in responsible manufacturing, and investments in our people, processes, and ways of communicating transparent data. We are on track to meet or exceed most of our 2025 goals and are shifting our focus beyond. “Our new 2030 goals increase our levels of ambition and continue to align our company with the textile industry’s approach to meeting shared global sustainability targets,” said Jimmy Summers, Elevate’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “These targets are supported by our strong belief that if we say we will take action, we intend to do so."
