Sustainability as a mission

Certfications

The certifications recognized to the company are testimony to our commitment to leave a better world for future generations.

Since 2016 our factory has been part of the Detox consortium, promoted by the Prato textile district with the collaboration of Greenpeace.

Better Cotton Initiative certifies the creation of textile products made with sustainably grown cotton.

This means that the fibers from which the textile products are made come from organic farming and then processed in a responsible and sustainable way. Since 2017, we have been joining the BCI project for all our cotton fabrics.

The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification is an international certification born in 1993, specific for the forest sector and products derived from forests managed correctly and responsibly, according to rigorous environmental, social and economic standards.

They are forests where the habitats of wild animals are respected and the undergrowth, shrubs and minor plants play a protective function of the climate, soil and water. The textile industry increasingly uses forest-based fabrics such as viscose and variants, such as modal and lyocell. The Forest Stewardship Council has been involved to ensure traceability through the supply chain of the textile sector, an indispensable condition to get to label clothes composed of cellulose fibers from FSC certified forests. One of the best known and most used FSC certified fibers is Tencel. We carefully select FSC-certified viscose and tencel for its productions.

GRS is recognized as the most important international standard for the sustainable production of garments and textile products made from recycled materials.

The Global Recycle Standard is promoted by Textile Exchange, one of the most important international non-profit organizations for responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector. The standard recognizes the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and consumption model, with the aim of promoting the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and increasing the quality of recycled products. We obtained the GRS certification in January 2018 through Certificate n. 2018-032, License n. GR0059.

The ZDHC is the acronym for Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals and consists of a program created by the will of some of the top brands worldwide.

It was created focusing on the principles of transparency and management of chemicals according to an integrated prevention and precaution approach. We are compliant with this program which involves the entire textile supply chain, selecting only suppliers who correctly manage chemicals in the various production stages.

The European Flax® Certification guarantees the origin of the flax fiber from European crops. The European Flax® certification guarantees the origin and traceability of the flax fibers used for textile production.

In particular, it certifies the use of flax fibers from European crops with the following characteristics: no irrigation (99.9% certified by CELC); no use of GMOs; rotation of plantations; reduced use of fertilizers and pesticides; natural maceration in the field; carbon sink: retains 400,000 tons of CO2 every year; no waste: the whole plant is used; completely mechanical extraction of the fibers (scutching); compliance throughout the supply chain with the rules of the International Labor Organization We only use European Flex Linen yarn and we are proceeding to obtain certification as a fabric manufacturer.

The Responsible Wool Standard in a textile company certifies the use of wool from sheep farms that meet specific requirements regarding animal welfare and sustainable land management.

We obtained the RWS certification in January 2020 through certificate no. RAF 2020-052, License No. RW0108.

The Global Organic Textile Standard was developed by leading international organizations in organic agriculture.

In order to guarantee the consumer that organic textile products are obtained in compliance with stringent environmental and social criteria applied at all levels of production, from the collection of natural fibers in the field to the subsequent manufacturing stages, up to the labeling of the finished product. GOTS certification obtained in January 2020, GOTS certificate 2020-206 / License N. G01069.

4sustainability® is the process Factory's mark that certificats the adherence of fashion & luxury companies to the sustainability roadmap.

The label is released following the implementation of one or more initiatives of the eponymous roadmap. It therefore excludes assessement activities that take a snapshot of the company's situation prior to the start of the roadmap and other consulting activities provided by Process Factory.
