Sunflag operates as a vertical factory, consolidating all production processes within one location. This approach minimises the environmental impact of its garments. To ensure that its manufacturing is as eco-friendly as possible, all water used in the production process is meticulously treated by an effluent treatment plant. This ensures the water is free from dyes or harmful chemicals that could damage the ecosystem.

Sustainability and equality are central to Sunflag's operations in Africa. The company partners with organisations committed to supporting local farmers and businesses. All of Sunflag's cotton is rain-fed, reducing water consumption compared to irrigation-dependent regions. To transport the cotton from the farm to the ginnery, ox and cart are used, further lowering carbon emissions compared to traditional truck transportation in other countries.
Promoting Sustainable and Fair Farming
By championing sustainable and equitable farming practices, Sunflag ensures the highest quality of organic African cotton while investing in the future of communities across the Singida, Simiyu, and Tabora regions of Tanzania. The company’s support enables these regions to flourish.

Sunflag Tanzania is deeply committed to social accountability, ensuring that all operations uphold national and international laws, and respect collective bargaining agreements. Its dedication extends to all parties involved in Its business, ensuring open and comprehensive communication. Through continuous monitoring, training, and improvement, Sunflag maintains and improves its Social Accountability Management System.
