Sustainability Report
2023 was a successful and celebratory year, full of satisfaction, excitement and recognitions, together with challenges and advancements in our science-based strategy for sustainability and circularity.
We turned 80 years old, and thanks to our circularity and science-based sustainabilty, we could celebrate this birthday with important prizes, such as “The Climate Action Award” at the 2023 CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards, the “Top 100 Performance” prize at the 2023 Sustainability Awards, the “Forum Pries” 2023 from Textilwirtschaft, and the “BEST PERFORMER PRIZE” from TV Moda. But that’s not it, we also acquired the Casentino Lane spinning facility, in order to increase our production capacity and be more flexible in innovations.
We continued our ESG path, strongly focusing on emissions’ calculation and accounting, life cycle assessments and the improvement of our circular economy practices and projects.
