Photovoltaic System

We invest in an energy production plant to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with a capacity of approximately 100 kWp, supported by a non-repayable grant from the Abruzzo Regional Authority under a programme aimed at improving energy efficiency and promoting renewable energy sources. The system became operational in 2021.

In 2025, the system generated 108,300 kWh of electricity, of which 85,444 kWh were consumed on-site and 22,856 kWh were fed into the electricity grid.

Based on the share of electricity consumed on-site and applying the national electricity grid emission factor published by ISPRA (2024 edition, reference year 2022), avoided emissions were estimated at 20,190 kg of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂eq).

This data supports the monitoring of electricity generation and on-site consumption, as well as the assessment of the estimated contribution of self-consumed photovoltaic energy to reducing emissions associated with electricity purchased from the grid.

Investment in Human Resources and R&D

People are central to our company’s growth and development. In recent years, training has become an increasingly important part of our business strategy, supporting the development of professional skills and the continuous improvement of our organisation.

In 2025, a total of 746.5 hours of training was delivered to our employees, through programmes aimed at strengthening technical and organisational skills. Training activities covered professional development and the maintenance of company standards in quality, occupational health and safety, compliance and organisational responsibility.

We remain committed to investing in training programmes that reflect the evolving needs of our industry and our organisational development objectives. By supporting skills development and professional growth, we encourage the active contribution of our people to the company’s progress.

In 2025, we updated our sustainability information on the Open-es platform, in line with the new assessment model integrating the requirements of EFRAG and introducing more structured criteria and levels of analysis across the Environment, Social and Governance areas.
With a score of 81/100 in the Master class, we rank among the top 20% of companies within the reference sample (score range 71–100), considering businesses of our same sector and size.
In 2025, the Open-es questionnaire was also validated by RINA, an independent third party, which verified the consistency and robustness of the information disclosed through the analysis of the documentation provided.



For the third consecutive year, we have participated in the EcoVadis assessment, earning the Silver Medal for 2026. This achievement places us among the top 15% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis and within the top 8% in the Apparel Manufacturing sector.
The EcoVadis methodology assesses 21 criteria across four areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The evaluation is based on internationally recognized standards, including the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the conventions of the International Labour Organization, the Global Reporting Initiative standards, and ISO 26000.
 

Recovery of textile waste
Pre-consumer recycling

Since 2022 all the scraps of our production find a new destination of use. Recovering scraps involves a selection process that sorts by weight, color, and composition and ends with a garnet phase that transforms the scraps into fibrous material to be used in the production of goods of diverse industrial sectors: for example, car mats, sound-absorbing panels, cleaning cloths, and more.

Thanks to this first step towards greater sustainability of production, we can avoid the disposal of textile waste in landfills or the use of incinerators. Collecting and recycling our garments is only the first step towards our greater goal.

Detail recovered in the year 2025:

Tunisia Kg 32.974

Corporate Carbon Footprint

Since 2022, we have prepared and reported our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory annually in accordance with UNI EN ISO 14064-1:2019, with verification by an independent third-party body accredited by Accredia.

With the verification of our 2025 inventory, we continue this process for the fourth consecutive year, strengthening our commitment to the systematic quantification, reporting and verification of GHG emissions.

The continuity of this process and the ongoing improvement of data quality, completeness and traceability enhance the reliability of our emissions inventory. This enables us to identify key emission sources and areas for action more accurately, supporting the development of medium- and long-term strategies to reduce emissions and environmental impacts.
