Among other awards, the group won awards in the ‘Highest Net Foreign Exchange Earner’ category in 2014 and 2015 and the ‘Highest Foreign Exchange Earner in the Apparel Sector’ in those two years.

It was also named the ‘Highest Employment Provider in the Export Industry’ for 2014 and 2015 and the ‘Highest Value Added Exporter in the Apparel Sector’ for 2015.

The Group also won the award for ‘Excellence in Sustainable Development’ and the award for ‘Highest Contributor from the Regions to the Export Supply Chain’, both for 2014.
