REACH

Our policy of guaranteeing increasingly high sustainability standards has led to the adoption of procedures and a supplier selection process that complies with REACH regulation. For this reason we follow very closely any updates related to the application of the European Regulation for the Textile sector. We also pay much attention to the list of substances (candidate list) defined as ‘of very high concern’ by the European Agency ECHA (SVHC- Substances of Very High Concern) and all subsequent updates. We confirm these substances cannot be detected on our products in a higher percentage than what permitted by the regulation.

ZDHC

SUPPLIER TO ZERO

The aim of gradually reducing the use of hazardous chemicals in the production chain has prompted us to embark on an even more sustainable path. We obtained the Supplier to Zero by ZDHC certification, which allows us to meet our customers chemistry demand by implementing the best practices of chemicals management. By collaborating with Roadmaptozero we pay attention to the preservation of the planet and to the harmony between production and nature.

4S

4SUSTAINABILITY

The market demand and our vision of sustainability have led us to find solutions for a lower impact production, particularly from a chemical perspective. With this goal in mind, we have built a well structured path for the adoption of the 4sustainabiility Chemical Management Protocol, that truly implements the ZDHC MRSL, as well as periodically measuring the degree of application in a transparent way.
