Trimco Group and Cascale: A Strategic Partnership
In 2024, Trimco Group became a Corporate Full member of Cascale, a global nonprofit organization that brings together more than 300 brands, manufacturers, and non-corporate entities working towards a more sustainable future in the consumer goods sector. This membership underscores our dedication to leveraging data to promote sustainability and collaborating closely with others within our industry.
Highlights of Our Cascale Journey
Trimco Group has already implemented Higg Index and actively participates in key initiatives and events. In May 2025, our ESG Director, Mayko Tatsuyama Mathisen, represented us at the Cascale Forum in Vietnam. She joined a panel discussion titled "From Factory Floor to Global Impact: How Manufacturers Are Leading the Way," sharing Trimco’s ESG strategies and practical solutions for scaling sustainability across multiple countries. The forum, attended by nearly 650 participants, was a hub of meaningful dialogue and collaboration, showcasing the power of collective action in driving industry innovation.
In September 2025, Mayko will attend the Cascale Annual Meeting in Hong Kong — Cascale’s main event for aligning plans and encouraging joint action.
A key milestone in this partnership is the appointement of our ESG Director, Mayko Tatsuyama Mathisen, to the APAC Policy Member Expert Team - recognizing Trimco Group’s growing influence in shaping sustainability policies across the Asia-Pacific region.
This is a great opportunity for us to directly contribute to regional sustainability policy discussions, strengthening our influence in shaping effective regulations and advancing responsible industry practices across the Asia-Pacific region.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Building a sustainable future in fashion and consumer goods takes shared effort and responsibility. Our partnership with Cascale is an important part of working with others to solve big environmental and social challenges. Events like the Cascale Forum and Annual Meeting help us learn new ideas and share our knowledge.
We know company actions matter, but they’re more effective as part of broader, industry-wide frameworks. By building relationships and sharing knowledge through Cascale, we can help create solutions that work for everyone.
As we move forward, our focus stays on making measurable progress, pushing for smart regulation, and staying in step with global standards.
Why Cascale Membership is Important for Us
Cascale gives members access to key industry tools like the Higg Index, which helps us measure and improve our environmental and social efforts. With these tools, Trimco Group can track our progress, set goals, and be more transparent with our partners. Cascale’s aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 fits with our own focus on efficiency and reducing our climate impact.
Being a member also provides expert training, special resources, and the chance to join a community committed to best industry practices. By using these benefits, Trimco Group can spot areas for improvement and make real, effective changes that match international standards.
