The meeting demonstrated that Kahramanmaraş’s strong production infrastructure is ready to take an active role in sustainability transformation. It was emphasized that sustainability is no longer just a compliance issue, but a strategic element that determines competitiveness.

Held in Kahramanmaraş, one of Turkey’s leading textile production centers, this gathering served as a tangible sign that the sustainability transformation agenda is no longer confined to major global brands but is increasingly shaping regional production ecosystems as well.
