Programs
Education: transformers foundation works with educational institutions and industry to bring together a conference series, where we teach students the denim supply chain, focusing on each area from fiber through to finish garment processing. Each series is tailored to the audience of students and is provided globally in several languages - each event is then added to the learning hub for reference resources. Each segment of the supply chain is presented by a professional donating their time to teach global students.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $72k to $158k (+118%).
