EXCEL ALONG THE BLUE WAY

It started 20 years ago, with an idea for a responsible textile industry.  

The idea became the Bluesign mission: to provide service-based solutions that help the industry realize responsible manufacturing,  globally.  THE BLUE WAY is a mindset towards advancements for supply chain inputs and outputs. From improvements in resources and chemical usage to emissions and waste reduction – THE BLUE WAY creates a positive impact and better textiles. As global society begins to catch up, we are taking our momentum into the next 20 years.

We look forward to walking the walk together with you.
