SUSTAINABILITY





We have been around for over 100 years and want to be here for 100 more. At Hesni we understand how damaging the textile industry is to the environment, and we pride ourselves as an example of how to work beyond that. Environmentally conscious and sustainable production is at the core of Hesni textiles - a value passed down from one generation to the next.



WATER





With the largest biological wastewater processing/treatment plant in the industry, we can treat up to 6000 cubic meters of wastewater daily - complying with both local and international practices for water quality.



CHEMICALS





We ensure the use of environmentally friendly dyes and chemicals throughout our production process by following the ISO and OEKOTEX guidelines.


All production materials used in Hesni group’s businesses comply with European and US standards for environmental protection.


We also have the capability to manufacture organic fabrics upon request.



ENERGY





Our energy department is dedicated to ensuring our plants and operations all run efficiently while using the least possible amounts of water, gas and electricity.


As a result of continuous efforts and targeted investments, we succeeded in the past decade to decrease our utilities’ consumption by around 40%.



LABOR PRACTICEs





Knowing the huge role the employees play in their success, besides following both local and international regulations,


Hesni strives to guarantee the best possible working environment and ensure the fair and responsible treatment of all their employees.


Among other benefits, Hesni offers private medical insurance, regular training sessions in management, chemical handling, firefighting and first aid.



CSR & SOCIAL IMPACT





Hesni cooperates with several social and governmental institutions to proactively contribute to the welfare of its workers and Egyptians in general. We are actively engaged in a number of social initiatives with institutions such as Advance,
