This recognition makes us humble. It is an honor to get this kind of recognition as a representative of textile industry and prove that innovations are much more than only technology. Aim to push whole textile industry towards more sustainable operations drives our everyday business forward. It is rewarding that also consumers appreciate our sustainability-linked innovations. One good example of those is our Jesus linen duvet, which the only duvet in the world with 50 years guarantee,
