Sustainability is our daily mission, implemented through the attainment of high environmental, social and product standards of excellence, recognised by the most important international certifications.
Environment
Reducing impact, rationalising water consumption, using renewable sources, respecting regulations that limit the use of chemicals: these are our choices with a view to continuous improvement.
ISO14001 It is a voluntary international standard that specifies the requirements of an environmental management system (EMS).
Through ISO 14001 certification, we are committed to: • Reducing environmental impact • Protecting biodiversity • Using sustainable products • Choosing renewable energy sources • Reducing water consumption • Recovering heat to be transformed into new energy
ZDHC we comply with the ZDHC programme, through which we pledge to use chemicals with an integrated preventative and precautionary approach, which paves the way to innovation and best practices in the textile sector, and which protects consumers, workers and the environment.
The ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) Programme identifies several actions to be taken to eliminate hazardous substances from the global textile industry, in particular: • eliminating or replacing hazardous chemicals • developing effective tools and investing in training to improve chemical management • developing collaboration with all parties concerned to promote the approach to sustainable chemistry and verification of environmental emissions. • Our commitment is also realized by asking the subscription of our Restricted Substances List by the whole chain that is inspired by ZDHC and AFIRM
