Sustainability

The growing concern about sustainability led us to implement a set of measures to create a green future for Givachoice and the textile industry. As producers of the most recognized brands worldwide, we are committed to sustainable development and the growth of a greener world, in order to protect future generations and the environment.
Givachoice recognizes the responsibility of facing the challenges inherent to the fashion industry in order to reduce the environmental footprint and promote positive changes throughout the production chain. Our sustainability policy also encompasses principles of ethics and social responsibility, as well as good management practices. For us, sustainability is life!

​

Our commitments to the planet, our employees and our customers:

We ensure the reduction of textile waste, through partnerships that allow us to reuse, recycle or recover the waste generated. At Givachoice, almost all waste is reused by the automotive industry, resulting in the filling of steering wheels in vehicles.

Our employees are encouraged to actively contribute to the implementation of our recycling policy. As such, recycling containers are implemented at strategic points throughout the company for the correct separation of waste.

We reuse pallets from our warehouse to create furniture. Our waste containers, for example, originate from this material.

We reuse boxes and plastic bags from suppliers.

We make sustainable choices, such as using certified cardboard boxes, purchasing PVC-free plastic and taking care in selecting duly certified suppliers and materials.

We work every day to achieve energy efficiency. In this way, we regularly monitor electricity consumption, installing LED lamps throughout the building and sensors in strategic locations.

We recognize the potential of renewable energy and, therefore, installed photovoltaic panels in the building, which produce more than 50% of the total energy consumed.

We invest in state-of-the-art sewing and cutting machines with lower energy consumption indicators.

We rationalize water consumption by implementing sensors in water taps, monitoring water pressure, dual flush toilet systems, timed taps and an intelligent irrigation system.

We have implemented a noise and lighting management and monitoring system.

At Givachoice, we are committed to the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as the fundamental principles of the International Labor Organization, with regard to work ethics and integrity.

All of our employees are treated with respect and equal opportunities. We prioritize access to training, information and integration, promoting a workplace free from harassment.

We prioritize compliance with our Occupational Health and Safety program.

At Givachoice, we believe that transparency and traceability are fundamental to sustainability.

A company focused on sustainability must be committed to monitoring the entire production process, thus ensuring respect for social and environmental values. Givachoice is proudly certified by some of the most recognized certifications such as GOTS, OCS and RCS.
