2. WEAVING SUSTAINABILITY INTO THE DENIM WORLD

“The world is wearing denim, and as the leading premium denim mill, we know that our
choices can make the difference for the environment, for sustainability and social
responsibility.” Fatih Konukoglu, CEO

ISKO™ & RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION
Responsible innovation has been a key focus for ISKO™ , a company committed to
developing an integrated field-to-fabric approach in every step of the value chain.
2.1.1 Product innovation

Sustainability is inherent in ISKO™ DNA.

Take for example ISKO Reform™ stretch technology. With outstanding fabric recovery,
jeans retain shape wear after wear. This technology means female consumers wash their
jeans less, thus saving on water. According to a leading denim brand’s lifecycle analysis of
a jean, 23% of the water consumption throughout the life of a jean happens during
consumer care. ISKO Reform™ technology eliminates the need to frequently wash the
jeans for shape retention reducing water and chemical detergant consumption during
home laundry
Next up is ISKO™’s patented concept ISKO POP™. This glamorous fabric technology
combines one-of-a-kind shine with a unique silken softness that begins within the yarn
and stays with the garment. This yarn process means garment makers can do without
chemical softeners during production and so reduces chemical consumption.
ISKO™’s, brand new concept, ISKO Cottonized™, is entirely made without the use of any
cotton. Considered by many as the future for environmental sustainability, ISKO
Cottonized™ employs regenerated cellulosic fibers such as Tencel® and Rayon to
produce “cotton-less” denim fabric with an appearance, drape, and wash-down unlike any
other denim. The best part: it looks like vintage denim.
2.1.2 Process innovation

Save water, wear ISKO™. Saving water and energy is part of our daily process:
-A filtration and treatment plant cleans the water used in the manufacturing process,
recycling it for other industrial uses.
-New finishing technologies minimize water consumption, saving 280,000 tons in 2016.
-Automation systems installed in the weaving halls saved over 1,4 milllions of kwh of
energy annually and reduced carbon emissions emissions by 900 tons per year.
-Heat and steam generated during the production cycle are captured and re-used,
minimizing energy consumption. resulting in 86,000 kwh of energy savings annually while
reducing carbon emissions by 56 tons/year.
2.1.3 Isko™ life cycle assessments

In order to fully understand the impacts involved in the textile supply chain, and where we
can make even better choices, ISKO has worked to obtain Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
of all of its 25,000+ denim products, in line with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
An LCA is a globally recognised methodology used to assess and quantify the

environmental footprint of a product, considering impacts across the entire product
lifecycle from raw material to finished product. By understanding the environmental
footprint of any product, we are able to identify any areas where improvements can be
made, and allow our customers to make fully informed decisions.
In order to ensure the validity and replicability of the LCAs, publicly available and
independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD®) have been produced
by ISKO, in line with ISO 14025. ISKO has become the first denim manufacturer globally
to obtain pre-certified EPD®s for all of its products, grouped into nine categories. The

results of these industry first EPD®s are being used to create the independently devised
Product Category Rules (PCR) for future denim industry EPD®s. Thanks to ISKO’s
leadership creating the first denim EPD®s the PCR is due to be published in November
2018 paving the way for consistent and comparable assessments of denim across the
industry, increasing transparency of environmental impact, improving consumer
awareness and driving environmental improvement.
An EPD® is a document used to communicate verified, transparent, and comparable

information about the life-cycle of products. The International EPD® System is a global
programme for environmental declarations based on ISO 14025.
Visit Environdec to learn more about EPD®s, and access ISKO’s EPD® verified LCA
results for all of its products in the EPD® database.

2.2. RESPECT THE PLANET – ISKO EARTH FIT™
ISKO Earth Fit™ forms an integral part of ISKO™’s responsible innovation platform.
Made with eco-friendly raw materials like organic cotton, Better Cotton, pre-consumer
recycled cotton and post-consumer recycled polyester from PET bottles, ISKO Earth Fit™
offers responsibly innovated denim fabrics in ISKO™’s most popular shades. Available in
fabric concepts demanded by global consumers, brands are able to extend their best
selling styles using ISKO Earth Fit™.

ISKO™ is the only denim mill in the world that was awarded with the prestigious Nordic
SWAN Ecolabel and the EU Ecolabel for several articles within ISKO Earth Fit™
collection. The EU Ecolabel criteria are developed and reviewed in cooperation of experts,
industry, consumer organisations and environmental NGOs. The Nordic SWAN Ecolabel
evaluates a product’s total lifecycle from raw material to waste/recycling, taking into
account environmental problems in each part of the supply chain.
This achievement came through ISKO™’s fulfillment of strict requirements for sustainable
fibers, for chemicals used in every stage of production, and caring for social and
environmental impacts.
2.3. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qI_bp-P2_g
ISKO™ is about the people.
While we use sustainable materials as well as improve water and energy use, our primary
focus is always people. We value our employees, ensuring equal opportunities for all. We
also believe that a company only truly fulfills its mission if it improves the life of the
communities it works in. We want our success to extend itself into the homes of
thousands.
ISKO™ is part of SANKO Tekstil, privately owned by Konukoglu family. SANKO Group is
one of Turkey’s largest conglomerates. Through Sani Konukoglu Foundation, SANKO
Group awards scholarships to more than 1,500 university students every year, sponsors
schools and hospitals, and delivers food aid to more than 50,000 families in need. ISKO™
has proven that it is possible to combine outstanding manufacturing performance with
responsibility and sustainability.
2.3.1 Global social responsibility projects

Below are some examples of global projects supported by the SANKO foundation.
 Entrepreneurship Program
 Agricultural Program

 Drinking Water Program

 ISKO Life Cycle Assessments
2.3.1.1 THE “OFF TO WORK” ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM
The ‘Off To Work’ program allows people to learn how to help themselves.
Through SANKO’s support, young people of Gambia were given training workshops on
entrepreneurship, planning, marketing, budgeting, sales techniques and brand creation. 60
young Gambians were given 3 day-workshops in towns of Gumjur, Sanyang, Madina,
Kartong, Kunkujang, Berending, Tujereng ve Tanje where they learnt how to prepare a
business plan for their business projects.
2.3.1.2 “PLANTING HOPE” AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM
The ‘Planting Hope’ program gives back to the earth and empowers the people who farm
it.
Through non-government organization Sen de Gel, SANKO initiated “Planting Hope”
project, focusing on women in small farming communities in Gambia. Throughout the
project, workshops are conducted to teach female farmers how to establish seed banks
that can be used by multiple towns, solar-powered irrigation systems, building fences to
keep out the animals from the farmland, and sustainable agricultural techniques. 207
women participated in the project which indirectly benefited a larger community of 1500
people, receiving the following support and services:
 “Introduction to sustainable agriculture” workshops
 Agricultural lands in the towns were cleaned up resulting in doubling of the farm land,
and were fenced around

 The farm lands were prepared and primed for planting

 Seeds were distributed
In addition to the above, SANKO is also supporting the construction of solar-powered

irrigation systems for female farmers, toilets and establishing a seed bank.
2.3.1.3 “GIVING LIFE” DRINKING WATER PROGRAM
More than 50% of the population cannot access drinking water in Gambia and Senegal
which results in infant mortality and widespread sicknesses. NGOs and the local
governments have built wells in villages that cannot access clean water, however the
pumping systems of many of these wells need to be repaired. Locals cannot afford to pay
for this maintanence.
As part of the “Giving Life” project supported by SANKO, the following will be
accomplished:
 Pumping systems of 11 wells that serve 7978 people in 9 towns (Mbankam, Kerr Malık
Sarr, Samba Yassın, Fafading, Sarreh Yerro Kumba, Mbulum, Kerr Galo, Mendy
Kunda, Kerr Begi) were repaired. These wells have been re-opened for the villagers
once pumping systems were repaired and water has been disinfected with chlorine and
tested for biological, chemical and physical quality. Landscaping was done and
watering holes for animals were also built.
 In addition to the above, in the village of Sam Bouye which sits in the Main River
region, a new well that will serve 300 people is planned to be built.

unDocumented

to be documented".
How can we look back and move forward?What is the new forward? Denim has been the
lead in dressing social changes happening under the layers of society for more than a

hundred years. What will be its influence in the future? How will we document the society
to come? UnDocumented is a blank statement, it is a state of non confinement, a citizen of
planet earth free to navigate the world geographically, an idea that has yet to be
documented, something unseen that speaks a new language, the undocumented future of
denim growing from previous documents. It is the non-official history of humankind and
how denim will continue to move with it from behind the wheel. UnDocumented: people
leading a world in which a connective tissue – denim – unites them all.

6.1. KEY POINTS:
6.1.1 Who can participate

ISKO I-SKOOL™ Denim Design Award is open to college students in their final year of a
Fashion Design course (BA or MA), who will graduate in 2018 as Fashion Designers.
6.1.2 Schools
The ISKO I-SKOOL™ Team selects a list of schools to collaborate with, whereas each
school must assign a teacher (“Tutor”) to mentor students throughout the process.
6.1.3 Independent students
For the second year in a row students outside partnering schools can apply to be part of
the project. A maximum of 50 students can participate in the competition and at least one
Independent Student will be shortlisted by the ISKO I-SKOOL™ team to take part in the
final phase, given that all application terms, conditions and guidelines have been
respected.
6.1.4 Creative development

According to the assigned main creative theme “UnDocumented”, students are asked to
develop their projects that will lead to the creation of a real denim outfit.
During the initial phase students will have to produce several materials
called “deliverables”. All these materials are mandatory to start production of their own
denim garment.
They will start “making their own Manifesto” imagining the future of denim, beginning from
a blank page and trying to develop a new and fresh perspective. However, to imagine the
future students will be asked to look at the past and at the social history of denim, guided
by a series of “Documents” that testify the importance and historical role of denim from the
Forties until today. These “Documents” on denim past social history, that serve as
inspiration and documentation to develop the storytelling of a student’s project, can be
found and examined on ISKO I-SKOOL™ Denim Awards Pinterest Profile.

it.pinterest.com/iskooldenim/boards/
Students will have then to create their own inspirational board using images that have
inspired their outfit project adding a brief storytelling of the concept behind it.
Furthermore, they will create sketches and drawings of the outfits having the possibility to
choose from several denim fabric types provided by ISKO™.
During the final phase, led by ISKO I-SKOOL™ team, they will go through all the
necessary steps to realize an industrializable denim outfit.

the-box thinking and creativity, together with actual feasibility to the denim industry.

6.2.1 Who will the winners be?

The Awards Ceremony will take place at the end of the 2017/2018 Academic Year.
6.3. BRIEF 2017/2018

unDocumented
"Denim: a groundbreaking force in social history and a propeller of the changes yet
to be documented".
How can we look back and move forward? What is the new forward? Denim has been the
lead in dressing social changes happening under the layers of society for more than a
hundred years. What will be its influence in the future? How will we document the society
to come? UnDocumented is a blank statement, it is a state of non-confinement, a citizen of
planet Earth free to navigate the world geographically, an idea that has yet to be
documented, something unseen that speaks a new language, the undocumented future of
denim growing from previous documents. It is the non-official history of humankind and
how denim will continue to move with it from behind the wheel. UnDocumented: people
leading a world in which a connective tissue – denim – unites them all.


6.3.1 What can be expected for the future of denim and, therefore, of
fashion?/1
The new market will be more and more permeated by a new type of consumer that cuts
across traditional market segments: the eco-conscientious consumer. An audience of 2.5
billion millennial consumers worldwide is also coming forward. These new protagonists of
the arena tend to experience purchase as a “social contract” that is emotionally and
ethically binding. Transparency, increased competition, and instant connection make
consumers (especially millennials) more inclined towards buying products that can express
more value than their price and, most of all, they expect a company to be good – good for
people, good for society, and good for the planet.
6.3.2 What can be expected for the future of denim and, therefore, of
fashion?/2
Brands with a purpose will continue to outperform stock markets (120% already in 2016,
based on Interbrand’s Report “Best Global brands”), and developing more purposeful
brands will be critical in order to establish or enhance future brand equity. The Ingredient
Brand model, the behind-the-scenes choice of virtuous materials, services and
approaches, is ideally suited to provide transparency and accountability for finished
products.
Those brands that successfully reach a no.1 position in their relevant category will be best
prepared for a prosperous future.
6.4. MARKETING BRIEF

Based on the 2018 UnDocumented theme and on the market scenario outlined in the
previous pages, Students are asked to develop a complete marketing strategy that
successfully addresses a specific audience. The strategy will be intended for an existing
consumer brand (Students will have to pick one) which is launching a line of clothing
and/or accessories that fully embodies the idea of a “Responsible and Positive Vision of
the Future” (UnDocumented). Students should focus their strategy and marketing plan on
the importance of the “ingredients” for sustainability (from fibers, to fabrics, to production,
and so on) and take into account this challenge: how will a brand market a responsible line
of clothing and/or accessories within its product range, without hinting that the rest of the
offer is less responsible?
