SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
- Our factory has a solar photovoltaic installation for the generation of renewable energies, which means reducing energy costs and carbon footprint.
- We promote the use of raw materials from natural fibres, as well as using sustainable yarns with OEKO-TEX, GRS and RECOVER certification, in order to minimise the environmental impact and guarantee that our articles are 100% sustainable.
- We collaborate with projects for the recovery of textile fibres, through the recycling of fabrics for the manufacture of clothing for humanitarian cooperation purposes. In 2016, we participated in a project in which military uniforms from the Dutch army were converted into blankets for refugees.
- We have modernised and renewed the machinery in our facilities, with the aim of making our equipment more efficient and reducing energy consumption.
QUALITY COMMITMENT
We know that innovation is the key to staying at the forefront of the textile sector, and that is why we invest in R + D + I, looking for efficiency and sustainability in all our areas. In conclusion, we work every day to promote our brand in the most responsible way possible.
Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international standard that sets out the requirements for the certification of recycled products, taking into account the social, environmental and chemical practices used in their production.
SMETA brings together our company’s best practices, taking into account labour standards, health and safety, business ethics and concern for the environment.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is the highest rated eco-label in the industry, guaranteeing that labelled textile products have been tested for more than 300 harmful substances.
With the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) seal, we contribute to the transformation of cotton production, as the initiative aims to reduce the environmental impact of cotton cultivation.
Recover™ transforms textile waste into new recycled cotton fibre, the lowest impact recycled cotton fibre on the global market. Ensuring the best quality and contributing to a circular economy.
We are responsible and conscious, which is why we include in our manufacturing process sustainable yarns with a practically zero climate footprint, such as those from Ecolife.
At Vialman we are responsible, conscious and respectful of the environment and people, without forgetting what really moves us: creativity and textile design.
