Sustainability certifications

We help your company acquire greater credibility in the eyes of customers and meet their demands by obtaining sustainability certifications.

Sustainability certifications ensure that companies possess environmental or social performance, thanks to the verification of a third party that certifies that a company or product is compliant with specific requirements.

Why obtain a sustainability certification?

It allows you to gain greater credibility in the eyes of customers and improve brand image by demonstrating the company's commitment to environmental and social issues;
It simplifies access to "green" financing, economic incentives, and tax breaks, attracting public and private investors;
It guarantees social and/or environmental performance through the verification of a third party, which ensures that a company, process, or product is compliant with certain requirements;
It makes up for regulatory shortcomings: the fashion industry is one of the industrial sectors with the least regulation in environmental terms;
It promotes informed purchasing by communicating verified and standardized environmental and/or social performance.
