We are so delighted to be recognized with a 2022 Common Objective Leadership Award! Additionally, Purnaa was among 32 companies shortlisted for the very prestigious CO10 category, recognizing the top 10 businesses at the forefront of best practices in the fashion and textile industry. Purnaa previously won the CO Leadership Award in the inaugural year of the competition in 2019. (The award was not presented in 2020 or 2021.)
The CO Leadership Awards celebrate ambition for, and commitment to, great business practices that transform lives - and solve environmental challenges in the fashion and textile industry. The awards are open to all businesses operating in the fashion industry - in any capacity, regardless of size or location. 2022 award winners were selected by a very prestigious panel of judges from over 50,000 members of Common Objective and include brands, suppliers, and organizations, all at the forefront of best practices in the fashion industry.
