The company shared it is poised to meet the needs of global brands and buyers who require the sustainability of the products they purchase to be verified.

Sae-A Trading vice president Saila Kim highlighted the limited adoption of FSC-certified fibres within domestic manufacturing and underscored the need for broader industry acceptance.

“Using FSC-certified products goes beyond simply sourcing sustainable materials; it plays a critical role in preventing deforestation and protecting biodiversity,” said Kim. “As part of our ESG management efforts, Sae-A Trading is committed to actively utilising these certified products to enhance sustainability within the fashion industry and contribute to ecosystem preservation.”

Sae-A Trading added that through these initiatives, it plans to combat deforestation, which it noted is threatening biodiversity and the livelihoods of indigenous forest communities.

Moreover, the company reiterated its commitment to building an eco-friendly value chain while focusing on the production of organic and recycled certified products, stating that it continues to evolve as a leader in environmental protection and social responsibility, going beyond mere profit generation.

Recently, Sae-A tripled its production volume and widened the range of yarns it can produce with the completion of its third spinning mill in Costa Rica.
