5 GREEN MATTERS Interesting Facts Not Everyone Knows: 100% of the raw materials used for production of linen yarn are recycleable. Based on a study in France about the Life Cycle Assessment of cotton shirt and a linen shirt: A linen shirt consumes only 1/4 of the water used for its life cycle compared with that of a cotton shirt A cotton shirt causes 6 times more freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity* than a linen shirt Kingdom already published its first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report for FY2014, despite HK listing rules on ESG report only became mandatory for accounting periods starting 1 Jan Kingdom planted 10,000+ trees in and around the production facilities. Kingdom uses only dew retting fiber flax. Dew retting is a purely natural and organic process, resulting zero water pollution (compared with pond or stream retting methods). * The freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity potential describes the toxic impact that the emitted substances have in the aquatic environment. 5
