Through our Kloth Woman Up brand, we transform textile waste into premium merchandise and gifts, with key features such as design thinking, high quality, functional and purpose-driven. We enable women from B40 and vulnerable communities to earn fair wages through upcycling and production, while helping corporations and institutions meet their ESG, sustainability, and social‑impact goals via responsible sourcing and inclusive procurement.

Our Sustainability Impact (2020–2025)

>56,400 pieces of upcycled products sewn and sold
>50 women upskilled in the art of creative sewing and earned fair wages for producing Kloth Woman Up products
>14.5 million kilograms of clothing and fabric waste diverted from incinerators and landfills through our Kloth Woman Up and Kloth Cares initiative

Kloth combines sustainable production with corporate‑ready scalability, making us a trusted partner for CSR merchandise in Malaysia.

Guided by our philosophy of ‘Rising With #SHEconomy’, we believe that women from underprivileged communities can achieve improved livelihoods when corporations and institutions choose merchandise and gifts that are locally made by workers from the informal sector.

Every purchase supports inclusive economic participation while advancing environmental and social impact goals.

Sustainable Corporate Gifts in Malaysia: CSR Case Studies

1. Sustainable Retail Campaign Merchandise

Genting Highlands and Johor Premium Outlets – “Recycle & Be Rewarded”

Kloth produced our signature Kloth Woman Up Denim Tote Bag for their sustainability-driven retail campaign. The upcycled denim totes were distributed at Genting Highlands Premium Outlets and Johor Premium Outlets as part of a recycle-and-reward initiative.

This campaign demonstrated how custom sustainable bags in Malaysia can enhance customer engagement while reinforcing circular economy principles.

2. Eco-Friendly Promotional Gifts for CSR Campaigns

Unilever 10.10 Social Corporate Campaign

Kloth partnered with Unilever to integrate sustainability into their 10.10 online shopping campaign on Shopee and Lazada. Every purchase from the Unilever Official Store contributed to supporting women from marginalised communities, who are key contributors in Kloth’s fabric upcycling process.

As part of the initiative, customers who met the minimum spend received an upcycled Kloth gift, such as the Kloth Crossbody Bag and the Kloth Mini Knot Bag while stocks lasted.

Each bag was handcrafted by Kloth Woman Up seamstresses using upcycled fabrics, turning textile waste into functional, premium-quality merchandise.

This collaboration highlights how brands can implement sustainable gifts within consumer campaigns in Malaysia, linking social impact with marketing initiatives. By combining corporate CSR objectives with upcycled merchandise, Unilever and Kloth demonstrated that sustainability can be embedded directly into everyday consumer experiences, driving both environmental and social outcomes.

3. Internal ESG & Sustainability Appreciation Gifts

Nestlé Staff Sustainability Campaign

Kloth produced vibrant upcycled laptop sleeves using Malaysian batik fabric for Nestlé’s internal appreciation initiative.

The gifts recognised employees championing sustainability — demonstrating how corporate sustainable gifting in Malaysia can reflect brand values, ESG commitment, and local identity.
