GAUGING AND REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL

COMMITMENT N°5 - ENVIRONMENT



CEPOVETT’s innovative approach

CEPOVETT’s innovative approach within the professional textile sector is based on a product life cycle analysis that aims to measure and reduce its environmental impacts and limit the materials used, while offering its customers environmentally responsible alternatives. This multi-criteria approach, linked to the specific social and environmental issues of its activities, generates useful information that assists our stakeholders in the decision-making process.


CEPOVETT #POSITIVEIMPACT LABEL

The #PositiveImpact commitment formalizes the sustainability and responsibility criteria for every item of clothing.
As a sign of reassurance, the hashtag endorses the CSR approach based on evidence and positive impacts related to the eco-design of products, pursuant to several criteria, in particular: using low-environmental-footprint, labelled and eco-friendly natural materials or recycled materials, saving water resources, reducing the carbon footprint throughout the value chain, as well as initiating alternative transport solutions, etc. This pledge embodies the Company's multi-annual CSR approach that focuses on the positive impact of its actions, epitomized through its products. This signature enables our customers to identify product references that meet the ethical criteria established by our brands. They are identified on the pages of our catalogues. Through the #PositiveImpact, the whole history of our products and their traceability will be narrated and made easily accessible to users, as such addressing the demand for additional information on the environmental and social criteria of our workwear.

    “Care of SNCF uniforms, in particular Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), is a key issue from a regulatory, economic and staff welfare perspective. Professional cleaning is preferred as it ensures that outfits are safely cleaned given the often high levels of dirt and grime. Home care must be ruled out due to the risk of contaminating household laundry. We work closely with our partners at all stages of the process, as well as our manufacturer regarding fabric selection to prolong the life of clothes, through to applying the correct care solution.”
