An update from the field! Earlier this year, EVP Andrew Martin had the opportunity to tour Cascale member Epic Group's CIPL facility in Bangladesh with board member Dr. Vidhura Ralapanawe. With a commitment to the "Relentless Pursuit of Better," Epic Group is improving the way they do things, starting with major technological investments. Continued collaborations with organizations such as Epic Group are crucial as we work to raise sustainability standards across the apparel industry through collective action with brands, manufacturers, and other stakeholders.
