About CITI Birla Economic & Textile Research Foundation Awards and CITI Sustainability Awards 2023-24

• Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has been encouraging excellence across the value chain of textile production since 1993-94 through the CITI BIRLA Awards.
• Starting previous year, an attempt was made to expand the areas of focus, with special emphasis on Sustainability, Circularity, and Traceability.
• The pre-and-post-consumer waste, the missing economies at the drawing board, in design, and across the supply chain — all these and more are imperatives that need to be taken up with urgency.
• With the said objective in mind, the CITI TEXTILE SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS had been launched to nudge the textile and apparel industry to chart out a more aggressive path with both planet and people at the centre of all the activities.
