The continuous improvement of our performance
is always present in our company. We are constantly setting new goals and
targets.
Following our way of being, we have achieved
two more goals:
RWS – Responsible Wool Standard
Every day, we understand that customers are
increasingly aware of the origin and production conditions of the items they
buy, and that is why it made perfect sense to extend our range of
certifications to products with wool. RWS offers verification of the entire
value chain and of textile, intermediate and final products with wool fibres
from certified farm animals that tend their well-being.
In short, this certification guarantees our
transparency and sustainability in the production and sale of raw and dyed
knits containing RWS certified wool.
We have obtained this new certification by the
hands of the certification body, CTV – Certificação de Têxteis e de Vestuário.
HIGG Index
The HIGG Index is composed of a basic set of
five tools that, together, assess the social and environmental performance of
the value chain and the environmental impacts of products.
In recent years, our company had already been
assuming an annual self-assessment with FEM – Facility
Environmental Module and FSLM – Facilty Social and Labour
Module.
This year we took a step forward and asked
Elevate Limited (a SAC-approved verification body) to verify our performance
for both modules. The results were very positive, with no significant
difference between the self-assessment score and the external verification
score.
