Sustainability

Sustainability has always been a priority for West Coast Exports, and we believe it to be one of our pillars of progress. At all times WCE has made it a point to address every key touchpoint in the life cycle of our product. This includes the source of the fabric, the manner in which it has been produced and the way in which it would be at one with the environment once it reaches the end of its life span. For our tireless efforts towards sustainability and accountability we were awarded the QEC certification ISO 9001:2008.

We take great care towards the physical and mental well-being of our 2000 karigars in Mumbai, who dedicatedly give us designs that make us stand proudly on the world stage. All our workers work on a shift basis which reduces the burden of extra hours. Our factories are centrally air conditioned, making a comfortable environment for them to work in. Also, utmost care is taken towards safety and hygiene following the new WHO protocols in lieu of the ongoing pandemic. We also made it a point to get all our workers vaccinated, for the safety of their health.
