Unit 1\u2013 two of Q Collection\u2019s flagship manufacturing facilities \u2013 have been awarded the\u00a0<strong>highest \u201cGreen\u201d rating in H&amp;M\u2019s ETP Functionality Assessment,<\/strong>\u00a0conducted by their technical partner Bluwin and Kingsley.\r\n\r\nThis prestigious rating, reflecting our continued commitment to responsible water management and environmental stewardship, is the top-tier classification in H&amp;M\u2019s comprehensive evaluation of wastewater management performance across its global supply chain. It assesses everything from process parameters and required parameters to maintain discharge limits. Receiving this Green rating signifies that our facilities not only meet industry expectations but operates at a level of excellence across design, function and team capability.\r\n<h4>\u200dWhat earned us the Green rating?<\/h4>\r\n<strong>Design Integrity<\/strong>\r\n\r\nOur ETPs are built to last with infrastructure that meets all the technical design requirements set by H&amp;M and engineered with the appropriate capacity and supported by robust environmental design calculations, ensuring alignment with the highest industry standards.\r\n\r\n<strong>Operational Performance<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPerformance isn\u2019t just on paper \u2013 it\u2019s in the process. Our wastewater treatment systems operate efficiently and consistently, with treated water staying well within the strict discharge limits. Routine monitoring and optimization ensure that every drop of water released is safe for the environment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Team Competency<\/strong>\r\n\r\nBehind every high-performing system is a high-performing team. Our dedicated ETP personnel demonstrated excellence in core areas, including wastewater chemistry, system troubleshooting, and hands-on operations. H&amp;M\u2019s spot evaluations confirmed not only the educational and experiential strength of our teams, but their readiness to uphold and exceed expectations on the ground.\r\n\r\nThis recognition from H&amp;M is a testament to the values we live by at Q Collection: engineering precision, operational discipline, and empowered people working together to protect our shared natural resources. This demonstrates that responsible manufacturing and environmental performance can go hand in hand.\r\n\r\nWe extend our thanks to H&amp;M for their continued partnership and to our internal teams for their dedication to continuous improvement. At the end of the day, sustainable fashion starts long before the first stitch \u2013 it starts with how we care for our environment, every day."}],"full_width_modules_modules":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
