The jury’s citation
This year’s winner shows that transition is best achieved together with others.

With its production model, it opens a new market for remanufacturing within the textile value chain and inspires circular business. By putting employees’ skills at the centre, the winner shows how integration can shift from a challenge to an opportunity. Read more here!
