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.
2020: plant installation;
2021: plant activation and data collection started;
Energy produced 2024: 134.300 Kwh
Avoided emissions 2024: 39.618,50 Kg CO2 eq.
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.
The number of advanced courses for qualified employees has increased in recent years.
In 2024 the total number of hours of training given to employees exceeds 1000. The topics range from SA8000, to Eco-fashion, from privacy to whistleblowing.
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.
We were awarded the Ecovadis bronze medal for the year 2025.
The results of the evaluation carried out by Ecovadis, one of the most important international rating platforms for sustainability assessment, have placed Confezioni Mario De Cecco in 10% of the best companies in the reference sector.
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 2024:
Italy Kg 18,020
Tunisia Kg 53,447

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 for the 2023 reporting the organizational boundaries were updated, the addition of our IGT (International Gulf Trading) trading office in Abu Dhabi. This update will ensure that results are effectively comparable with future inventories.
In 2023, we recorded a reduction of approximately 15% in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, along with significant improvements in the collection and analysis of primary company data.
