From raw materials our idea of world comes. Therefore it is essential to use fibers with lower impact and high safety with adequate costs and quality for increasingly aware consumers, creating lasting value over time.
We are looking for increasingly more sustainable fabrics
The impact of materials is estimated to account for about 60% of the overall CO2 footprint of one single item of clothing. For this reason, with a sense of urgency, we traced a path to be able to purchase only certified materials with the lowest environmental impact, using natural fabrics respecting existing ecosystems and synthetic fabrics produced through a closed-loop system. Even though it would not be easy, we will face the change and share it with our suppliers.
GOAL
Achieving an overall 30% of the volume of more sustainable and certified raw materials within 2025.
Among the most used synthetic fabrics we choose polyester, whose environmental impact is mainly connected to its fossil origin. It is a highly-versatile material, easy to recycle, and therefore we are committed to use increasingly more recycled polyester for our garments.

GOAL
Create jobs in a constructive way, following the principles of responsibility and inclusion, while promoting charities and projects to help those more in need and the community, beyond the local ones.

We check chemicals, for our health and for the environment
We pay the greatest attention on garment control, in particular kidswear, in order to ensure the absence of chemicals potentially harmful for human health and the environment. The efforts made require a strong collaboration between us and our suppliers, which however ensures increasingly safer garments to wear, whose manufacturing complied with the highest social and environmental standards. For this reason we joined ZDHC program, which aims at driving the fashion industry towards the elimination of harmful chemicals from the global supply chain, thus laying the ground for more sustainable manufacturing in order to protect workers, consumers and planet ecosystems.
GOAL
Preventing 100% of the issues with garments connected to the use of chemicals throughout the entire production chain and driving the production chains involved in our manufacturing processes towards a more responsible use of chemicals.
We have defined a list of restricted substances, Restricted Substances List (RSL), which goes far beyond the limits imposed by international regulations and defines stringent compliance criteria that products must comply with. We test 30% of items for adults and 100% for children to check for the absence of potentially harmful chemicals.
We joined the international Roadmap to Zero Programme by ZDHC Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals, whose aim is to eliminate hazardous chemicals by implementing a strict protocol to map and control discharges throughout all the manufacturing stages and by monitoring wastewater quality throughout the supply chain.
