RESPONSABILITY
Respect. Integrity. Innovation.
OUR APPROACH
Respect, Integrity and Innovation have been part of our company’s heritage for entire generations. Our new company purpose, “Responsibility” mirrors these values, aiming at having a more and more positive impact on people and on our planet.
Our sense of Responsibility, leading us throughout each decision we make, is based upon four strategic pillars:
1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
ECO-FRIENDLY FABRICS
As regards the choice of fabrics, Cafissi is more and more orientated towards an eco-friendly approach. The technical and creative departments design a great number of
collections using recycled products and organic materials, both animal-derived (a huge variety of wools and silk) and plant-based (cottons, hemp fiber, linen, jute, kapok).
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
We have developed and produced a line for launches and packaging that is as eco-friendly as possible. FSC Certified bags and paper boards, recycled and recyclable
polyethylene films for pouches and packaging (LDPE 4 Certified).
GREEN ENERGY
Cafissi’s facilities are powered by solar panels feeding more energy into power grids compared to the actual needs. Furthermore, Cafissi has chosen Repower as its electricity supplier since the energy produced is sustainable and comes from Grosio Hydroelectric Power Plant (SO) which is itself endowed with the TÜV SÜD certification.
PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT
Cafissi follows a detailed regulatory system focusing on:
- waste minimization;
- the use of eco-friendly materials in the packaging;
- a proper waste disposal.
2. SUSTAINABLE PURCHASE
AND TRACEABLE OF
RAW MATERIAL
Among Cafissi’s most popular activities, we provide shipments of both textile samples and produced pieces. Hundreds of thousands of shipments every year all over the world. For this reason we have designed a family packaging that is as sustainable as possible.
Today we only use eco-friendly- recycled, recyclable or reused- packaging and paperboards for the presentation of our sample collections or for shipments.
3. PEOPLE'S EMPOWERMENT
Women and men within our Cafissi family strongly believe that the values of diversity and inclusiveness are vital for our company’s long-term success. We are committed to motivating our employees, assign them more decision-making responsibilities and enhance their focus on the consumers’ needs.
Thus, we endeavour to comprehend their needs, we listen to their opinions and create a work environment where people can feel appreciated and stimulated to do their best. Our goal is to create a work environment where everyone feels valuable and respected; a place where our employees can feel free to be themselves and where we can work together in order to achieve common goals.
4. HEALTH AND SAFETY
As a company, we are committed to ensuring “zero accidents” in our facilities through the constant enhancement and implementation of firm safety management systems. A visible leadership, safe behaviors and the guarantee that our employees are well trained and equipped to work in total safety are fundamental.
