It just depends on how you fashion them. It is this philosophy that has helped us touch people’s lives through innovative and pioneering solutions since 1931. And it is this philosophy that continues to drive us to change tomorrow for the better. Arvind has always focussed on input management as preferred approach to sustainability rather than just looking at tailpipe management. This fundamentally right philosophy has helped us to improve our sustainability performance over the years. We are now integrating this approach across the value chain to enhance performance of our allies too. Right alliances accelerate sustainability performance. At its very core, sustainability is the art of creating allies of diverse stakeholders who champion divergent interests. At Arvind, we see allying as the process of formally co-operating with like-minded forces and combining resources, expertise, networks and assets towards a common purpose: To achieve larger sustainability goals faster. We have identified six core inputs that are truly material to us and form thefoundation of our business. These inputs are material for our allies too.
