Sustainability
ABOUT
The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. That is why our work is never finished. Every day, our mission remains the same: to reduce the environmental impact associated with the uniforms we produce.
What we have already achieved:
Renewable energy.
We have installed solar panels at our factory in Northern Portugal and use LED lighting throughout our facilities, while progressively increasing the use of energy from renewable sources.
98% of our production is made in Portugal.
Mostly in Northern Portugal, where we have been producing since 1992. This proximity allows us to monitor production more closely and reduce the distances associated with transport.
94% of our suppliers are located within 40 km.
A local supply chain helps reduce transport distances, improve oversight of production processes and maintain a direct relationship with those who manufacture our products.
Certified and recognised through independent auditing.
Our OEKO-TEX® STeP – Level 3 certification assesses different areas of production, including chemical management, environmental performance, health and safety, social responsibility and management systems.
Audited. Verified. Committed to continuous improvement.
Materials
Recycled polyester and organic cotton are among the materials we incorporate into our solutions, as part of our ongoing search for more responsible alternatives.
Recycled packaging
From product to delivery, every detail matters.
2nd Life ♻
CLIENT PROGRAMME
We collect end-of-life uniforms to assess opportunities for reuse, recycling or recovery of their materials.
Repair & Extend ⚒
CLIENT PROGRAMME
The most sustainable uniform is the one that does not need to be replaced. We repair and maintain garments.
GARMENT CARE ♻
CLIENT PROGRAMME
A programme through which we collect, treat and relabel garments so they can be reused by another wearer.
Production waste management
We separate the different types of waste generated by our operations and ensure they are handled according to their specific category, prioritising recycling or recovery whenever applicable.
