Nishat Mills becomes bluesign partner
Nishat Mills Limited, a vertically integrated denim maker, is the first Pakistan-based company to join the ranks of bluesign’s ‘system partners’ dedicated to a more responsible denim industry.

“Being the first mill in Pakistan to join the bluesign system reinforces our commitment to cleaner chemistry, safer workplaces and more responsible use of resources,” commented Umer Shah, Nishat Fabrics executive director.

Since 2020, the Swiss chemicals monitoring organisation has been focusing on expanding its reach in the denim industry. “Denim is at the centre of cultural and economic storytelling in fashion,” stated bluesign CEO Daniel Rüfenacht. “By partnering with mills, laundries and brands committed to clean chemistry and transparency, we are transforming the category from the inside out.”

Bluesign’s Denim Initiative now counts nine mills and laundries, seven chemicals companies and two brands (Madewell & Dondup).
