Photovoltaic System
We invest in an energy production plant to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As SMEs, our company has benefited from a grant through participation in a call for tenders, launched by the Abruzzo Region, for a project of "Actions to contain energy expenditure, reduce emissions and encourage the use of renewable sources".
The project was realized in 2020 with the installation of a photovoltaic system of about 100 kwp, whose production is for exclusive internal use.
The goal is to achieve the self-production of electricity from renewable sources of 50%.
2020: plant installation;
2021: plant activation and data collection started;
Energy produced in the first year: 125,188 97 MWh (from 30/09/2021 to 30/09/2022);
Emissions avoided in I year: 101.3 t CO2
Investment in Human Resources and R&D
To face future challenges, we cannot do without people.
We invest in personnel with training and specialization courses so that everyone can work to achieve the goals experienced as common and with greater awareness.
In 2022, the total number of hours of training provided to employees amounted to about 1,220 hours of training; the main themes were sustainability, ecodesign, fibers and fabrics, and certifications.
In a rapidly evolving business environment, the training and development of employees represents a crucial strategic lever for ensuring the continued relevance and competitiveness of the company.
In 2023, the total number of training hours provided to employees exceeded the 3,000-hour threshold with content such as Cybersecurity, Individual Safety Devices, and 3D Fashion Design software.
In a rapidly evolving business landscape, workforce training can be a strategic tool for confirming, expanding and updating professional skills that are vital for driving company growth.
Open-es is a system initiative, which brings together the industrial, financial, and institutional world through a digital platform that involves and supports all companies in their process of measurement and growth from a sustainability perspective.
Being open to all companies, Open-es numbers already has more than 11,000 companies. A real community is based on discussion, collaboration, and identification of priority actions, thus contributing to the sustainable development of an open and collaborative ecosystem.
Recovery of textile waste
Pre-consumer recycling
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 of waste recovered in 2022:
Italy Kg 29.850
Detail of waste recovered in 2023:
Italy Kg 15.970
Tunisia Kg 56.473

Carbon Footprint
Our first data collection for 2022 involved conducting an in-depth analysis of all emissions caused by our activities. The final result was certified by an external, globally accredited body (SGS). For the 2022 reporting, it has been decided to opt for partial compensation of emissions (12%) with the credit system, while that valid for 2023 is ongoing.
Our focus in recent months has been on finding the most efficient process to automate and integrate research and data collection activities into our internal management.
Once this procedure is completed, we will be able to gather the necessary information for greenhouse gas reporting year after year, making it an autonomous and daily activity.
