Through ISO 14001 certification we are committed to: – Reduce environmental impact – Protect biodiversity – Use sustainable products – Choose renewable energy sources – Reduce water consumption – Recover heat to be converted into new energy
ZDHC We comply with the ZDHC programme through which we commit to using chemicals with an integrated approach of prevention and precaution, paving the way for innovation and best practice in the textile industry and protecting 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, namely: – Eliminate or replace hazardous chemicals; – Develop effective tools and invest in training to improve chemical management; – Develop collaboration within stakeholders to promote the sustainable chemistry approach and the verification of environmental discharges. – Our commitment is also realised by requesting the subscription of our Restricted Substances List by the entire supply chain to ZDHC and AFIRM
