Soorty Enterprises hosted the 16th Town Hall of Net-Zero Pakistan – an initiative by the Pakistan Environment Trust on Wednesday, October 2nd, in Karachi. The session, titled “Navigating Through SBTi Challenges and Celebrating Success,” brought together industry experts and sustainability leaders to share practical strategies and case studies on transitioning to Net-Zero.

Designed for Sustainability and Compliance Teams, the event offered a platform to explore real-world solutions, exchange insights, and engage with peers across industries. Open to both member companies and those beginning their Net-Zero journey, the Town Hall provided a valuable opportunity for learning and collaboration within Pakistan’s growing climate action network.

Soorty Enterprises is contributing to the evolution of Denim Deal 2.0, a renewed global initiative focused on circularity and reducing textile waste in denim production. Building on its original Dutch foundation, the Denim Deal has entered a new phase powered by industry collaboration. Soorty played a key role in the rebranding process, developing a refreshed visual identity, including a new logo and color palette which was unveiled at Munich Fabric Start’s Bluezone in September 2024.

Beyond design, Soorty supports Denim Deal 2.0 through its ongoing commitment to circular production. Initiatives like Second Life™ which transforms pre- and post-consumer textile waste into new denim demonstrate Soorty’s practical approach to closing the loop. By engaging across the supply chain and promoting recycled cotton use, Soorty continues to advance scalable solutions that align with the core values of Denim Deal 2.0 and the broader push toward a circular economy.

As part of the PRISM Project in collaboration with NOWPDP, Soorty Enterprises is conducting sign language training for employees across relevant departments. The training is designed to improve communication between hearing-impaired team members and their colleagues, and to support more effective day-to-day collaboration.

In addition to basic sign language instruction, the sessions include workplace-specific vocabulary and interaction scenarios. These trainings are part of a broader effort to build practical tools for inclusion, with a focus on communication, understanding, and shared responsibility at the team level.

Following its win at the All Pakistan Textile Sector GIZ Diversity & Inclusion Joint Ideathon, Soorty hosted the first meeting of the GIZ Community of Practice (CoP) Karachi Cluster at its headquarters.

The session brought together senior representatives from Towellers Limited, Artistic Milliners, AGI Denim, Yunus Textile Mills Ltd., Mustaqim Dyeing & Printing Industries Pvt. Ltd., and Soorty to exchange ideas and align on practical approaches to advancing diversity and inclusion within the textile sector.
