The operational procedures we have developed over the years support supplier selection and monitoring and the sharing of our environmental responsibility requirements.
A significant part of our catalogue consists of fabrics certified to various industry standards. We have adopted a chemical risk management protocol, map our suppliers, apply traceability procedures and implement sampling plans to verify product compliance and safety.
Our system is periodically reviewed by external parties as part of a continuous improvement process.
Product certifications
Each certification attests to specific requirements, which may concern composition, fibre origin, traceability or certain environmental and social aspects of the supply chain.
To make information accessible, we have adopted a simple and transparent labelling system. Each roll of fabric is labelled with a QR code that contains all information relating to the product, including certifications.
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global not-for-profit organisation and one of the leading international initiatives dedicated to cotton. Through its standard and network, it supports and trains farmers in adopting more sustainable agricultural practices, with a focus on environmental protection, working conditions and the economic resilience of cotton-growing communities.
The Lenzing group identifies viscose fibres made from cellulose derived from certified or controlled wood sources. The production process is designed to promote resource efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts associated with fibre production. The production of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres generates at least 50% fewer carbon emissions and uses at least 50% less water than generic viscose. Fibre identification technology also supports their authenticity and traceability throughout the supply chain.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that sets standards for responsible forest management. Chain of Custody certification enables materials sold with an FSC claim to be identified and traced throughout the supply chain. These materials may come from certified forests, reclaimed materials or controlled sources. It also ensures that strict limits are applied to the conversion of natural forest land.
Developed by leading international organisations in organic farming, this standard certifies that products meet strict environmental and social criteria applied throughout the supply chain, from fibre harvesting and manufacturing to labelling. It ensures that each textile contains at least 70% organically grown natural fibres, is processed in an environmentally sustainable way and is free from harmful chemicals.
This standard certifies that textile products contain a high minimum percentage of recycled material and meet social and environmental requirements relating to processing and the use of chemicals. It aims to increase the use of recycled materials and reduce the negative impacts of production on people and the environment. Certification can cover both yarns and fabrics.
This label identifies textile products whose components pose no risk to consumer health. The independent testing system, applied uniformly worldwide, certifies the absence of harmful substances and guarantees the environmental compatibility of manufacturing processes and facilities. Certification is awarded by the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile Ecology.
This is one of the leading international standards for the certification of organic materials in textile products. It guarantees an organic natural fibre content of at least 5% and verifies traceability throughout the production chain, from raw material to finished product. The certification system ensures that all processes comply with strict sustainability and integrity criteria.
This is one of the most important international standards promoting the use of recycled materials in products. In textiles, it ensures a minimum content of 5% pre- and post-consumer recycled material. It also certifies that manufacturing activities and processes comply with the strict requirements of the standard.
This voluntary certification guarantees sheep welfare. It prohibits painful practices such as mulesing and promotes responsible land management practices. Through the chain of custody, it enables certified wool to be traced from the farm to the final business-to-business transaction and also includes social requirements applicable to farms.
