Global healthcare and hospitality textiles company Standard Textile Co., Inc. announced its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

In March 2025, Standard Textile took a significant step by officially registering its commitment with the SBTi. Over the next 24 months, the company will develop science-based emission reduction goals and submit them for validation, striving to meet global standards for emissions reduction.

The company’s key initiatives include expanding the use of renewable energy, verifying its carbon footprint, supporting supplier decarbonization, increasing recycled content, exploring biodegradable materials and scaling recycled cotton adoption.

Details were released in the company’s Sustainability Impact Report.

“Our SBTi commitment and Sustainability Impact Report reflect our strategic approach to sustainability,” said Alex Heiman, President of Standard Textile, in a statement. “Long before sustainability became a movement, we made a conscious choice to focus on reusables because it was the right thing to do for our customers and our planet. Today, partnering with the SBTi allows us to set measurable goals and ensure meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future.”
