CINCINNATI — Standard Textile Co. Inc., a provider of healthcare and hospitality textiles headquartered here, has released its 2024 Sustainability Impact Report and its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global organization enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reduction targets grounded in the latest climate science.
The company says the dual milestone underscores its commitment to sustainable innovation, operations and transparency in environmental impact reporting.
In March 2025, Standard Textile officially registered its commitment with the SBTi. Over the next 24 months, it will develop science-based emission reduction goals and submit them for validation, striving to meet global standards for emissions reduction, the company says.
The Sustainability Impact Report outlines the company’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact through innovative practices and responsible operations.
“Our SBTi commitment and Sustainability Impact Report reflect our strategic approach to sustainability,” says Alex Heiman, president of Standard Textile. “Long before sustainability became a movement, we made a conscious choice to focus on reusables because it was the right thing to do for our customers and our planet.
“Today, partnering with the SBTi allows us to set measurable goals and ensure meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future.”
The company says sustainability is central to its purpose of “Inspiring Care and Comfort for Generations” by creating meaningful value for customers, communities and the planet. Standard Textile recognizes that customers across healthcare and hospitality increasingly seek partners who share their commitment to sustainable practices.
“Our commitment to the SBTi is a significant step forward for Standard Textile and our global partners,” says Jon Simon, executive vice president of global strategy and growth.
“By aligning our efforts with globally recognized standards, we’re holding ourselves accountable. This approach ensures that we continue to innovate responsibly while meeting the growing expectations of our customers and partners worldwide.”
