About

Founded in 2012 by Emmanuel Barret, ACI (Audit & Consulting International) brings together over 25 years of hands-on expertise across the entire textile value chain. Emmanuel’s unique background combines a triple expertise:

• Textile Engineering
• Purchasing & Procurement Management
• Consulting in Sustainable Performance

At ACI, our mission is to support the textile industry in achieving operational excellence, environmental and social responsibilities, and long-term resilience.

We work closely with both industrial players—from Tier 4 (spinning) to Tier 1 (garment manufacturers) and buyers such as fashion brands, textile rental companies, and importers. This dual perspective allows us to bridge gaps, drive performance, and deliver tailored, sustainable solutions.
