Our Pillars
Towards circular economy
“We envision the goal of a sustainable future to achieve it, driven by the responsibility to change the world one choice at a time.”
Aquafil Brand Manifesto
The ECO PLEDGE
For years, we have been on a path that sees sustainability and the pursuit of a circular economy as the core of our values and the engine of our business growth. This daily commitment to excellence and responsible practices is supported by “THE ECO PLEDGE®: Aquafil’s Path Toward Full Sustainability”, a set of principles that – like a lighthouse in the night – guide and inspire all the work of the Group.
5 guiding principles
Sustainability principles are encoded in Aquafil’s mission through THE ECO PLEDGE®, which formalizes the sustainability policy guiding our Group's operations. This commitment is based on 5 pillars
contributing to 12 Sustainable Development Goals.
For each of these pillars, we have identified improvement areas, set forward-looking objectives, and launched a series of projects to achieve them.
The SDGs
The decision to link the Group’s sustainability plan to the Sustainable Development Goals derives from our desire to achieve a transparent, effective and long-lasting responsible growth.
The adoption of the SDGs helps us put the principles of the ECO PLEDGE® into action, measure progress and actively contribute to a truly sustainable development model on an international scale.
Up to now, Aquafil has achieved outstanding results on 12 SDGs.
Environment
By being conscious of the impact of all our processes on the planet, from the choice of material to the sale location.
Social
By supporting internal development and adding value to local communities.
Economy
By creating new sustainable value chains, disseminating the culture of sustainability and integrating it in all our procurement procedures.
Research initiatives
Research allows us to always look ahead, to innovate, to continuously improve and to develop products that are increasingly efficient and sustainable. This is the reason why research is one of the basic pillars of the Group.
