To initiate
sustainable manufacturing practices, The Good Fashion Fund has signed a deal
with Indian manufacturer Pratibha Syntex Limited. The deal comes with a
long-term loan of $ 4.5 million. This long-term loan is expected to support
Pratibha Syntex’s planned capital expenditures related to the placement of
machinery and expansion of sustainable equipment in their garments
divisions, spinning, and processing. This new equipment will lead to a

supplier of garments and textiles to famous brands like H&M, C&A, Zara,
