S-CAFE, fabric made from coffee grounds
Coffee is much more than just a drink in a cup! It boasts functional properties that enable it to be transformed into textile components. "S.café", created by the Taiwan-based textile company Singtex, is a technical composite fibre made from recycled coffee grounds and partly from recycled PET. It offers excellent breathability and UV protection. Used in the manufacture of clothing, it has the virtue of eliminating odours and is pleasant against the skin, even during intensive activities. This innovative made-in-France fabric provides an interesting alternative to synthetic materials derived from oil. Giving a second life to coffee may be a way to imagine the textiles of tomorrow.

Orange 2019 customer convention
Orange is one of the world's leading telecommunication operators. In 2019, Orange invited its professional clothing and uniform supplier CEPOVETT to its customer convention in Nice. It was an opportunity for the French SME to contribute its textile expertise to a fashion show with the employees during this big event, in order to show everyone the new collection designed by Louis- Marie de Castelbajac. It was also a chance to demonstrate Orange's environmental commitments and its desire to share them with its staff through this new collection. Orange and CEPOVETT share the same ambition in the context of this cooperation.

Fair-trade alterations with Mulieris, Brusselles
CEPOVETT has selected the Mulieris workshop for its major Belgian customers (notably Thalys and STIB) to carry out all the measurements and alterations on the uniforms worn by workers in the Benelux union. This extraordinary sewing workshop in Brussells produces ethical and responsible fashion. Started as a socio-professional integration project led by the ASBL association, the Mulieris workshop aims to create employment and help people to return to work (16 people in 2018). Through this local and socially responsible factory, the municipality of Anderlecht is supporting a concept that is unique in Europe. The workshop has made a name for itself in the closed world of fashion since being established thirteen years ago.2018
Co-construction of solidarity projects with our stakeholders
CEPOVETT Group has made professional clothing a collaborative and participative subject at all stages of its life, from design to distribution. Because CSR is not a matter to be dealt with alone, the company has, from the outset, integrated the challenges of the circular economy, woven a web between employees and stakeholders, and worked on joint projects in a spirit of mutual aid and solidarity. This co-construction approach extends to relations with suppliers and is reflected in the implementation of solidarity projects involving all stakeholders (customers, suppliers, NGOs, associations, employees, etc.).In 2017, the solidarity adventure continues for CEPOVETT Group through its Epsilon site, which has partnered with an emblematic and humanist figure on the island of Madagascar: Father Pedro. In order to support the action of this humanist priest who has been working for more than 20 years to integrate Malagasy orphans, the company has set up a partnership in which it undertakes to supply the Malagasy association with school gowns. In return, the 12,000 children will plant 12,000 trees and become collectively involved in the CEPOVETT Group reforestation programme for future generations, "1 child, 1 tree".
