PRGMEA is leading Pakistan’s textile industry on the journey towards a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. Through strong partnerships with academia, industry, and global organizations, we are advancing innovative projects that directly address climate challenges.
Conducted complete greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments for member companies enabling them to measure emissions, improve resource efficiency, and prepare sustainability reports. These pilots are setting replicable benchmarks for the wider SME community.
Explore the pathway with the School of Chemical and Materials Engineering, NUST Islamabad, for the use of biochar for carbon sequestration, soil restoration, and waste-to-resource solutions in the textile value chain.
In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Zaheer-ud-Din Khan (Chairperson, Botany Department, GCU Lahore), PRGMEA launched a large-scale native tree plantation initiative designed to enhance biodiversity, restore urban ecosystems, and create permanent carbon sinks.
Collaborated with the Energy Institute, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) under Dr. Fiaz Ahmad Chaudhry to design renewable energy adoption models for textile manufacturers, supporting their shift to clean energy.
Road to Decarbonisation Dialogues Brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts in partnership with WWF-Pakistan and GIZ to outline actionable pathways for reducing textile cluster emissions.
A PRGMEA (NZ) member company has proudly signed the SME Climate Commitment under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Utilizing the SME Climate Hub’s innovative tools, the company is actively developing and implementing a sustainability strategy strengthening our collective dedication to a greener, climate-resilient future.
PRGMEA actively promotes the adoption of biofuel as a sustainable alternative fuel, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and foster an energy transition within the textile sector. Notably, one member company has already integrated biodiesel into its operations, exemplifying practical implementation of cleaner energy solutions and reinforcing PRGMEA’s commitment to climate mitigation.
PRGMEA , in collaboration with GFC Fans, is supporting members in replacing outdated fans with high-efficiency industrial models, delivering up to 40% energy savings. This mitigation measure reduces emissions, lowers operational costs, and advances PRGMEA’s commitment to low-carbon growth and SDG 13 Climate Action.
Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturing And Exporters Association (PRGMEA) was established in 1981 to provide advice and services to manufacturers and exporters in Pakistan and to promote a better environment for trade.
