The projectis for people from disadvantaged backgrounds or who are differently-abled
Vietnam denim manufacturer Saitex has launched a new social entrepreneurship project and production line for people from disadvantaged backgrounds or who are differently-abled.
The Rekut initiative is a new, holistic approach for the company, and will see associates receive training and support for sustainable jobs with equal, open opportunities and a stable income.
Understanding that in urban areas of Vietnam, people with different abilities and special needs are three times as likely to be unemployed, Saitex says it has invested in, and trained, 90 associates to date with the aim of increasing this to 1,000, or 20% of its workforce by 2025, to align with its inclusivity strategy.
