“The Leading the Change Award recognises Mara Hoffman’s long-time commitment to reducing environmental impact through conscious fashion,” Unifi said, explaining that many of the brand’s best-selling swimwear pieces are made from its Repreve recycled performance fibre.
“Mara Hoffman exemplifies integrating sustainability and innovation for the good of tomorrow,” said Helen Sahi, Unifi’s vice president of global corporate sustainability. “The Mara Hoffman brand perfectly represents what the fashion industry can achieve when it pairs visionary leadership with sustainable materials that perform at the highest level with reduced environmental impact.”
Earlier this month, Unifi named the winners of its second annual Champions of Sustainability awards. More information about the winners can be found here.
