Sustainability

Our green vision

Our green vision

The constant collaborations with brands, and never-ending research on the lowest environmental impact, have led to the implementation and development of new production methods with a low environmental impact.

Use of Environmentally Friendly Chemicals

The chemicals used in the production process are all compliant with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals). Furthermore, over 80% (of those used in our production process) are registered on the voluntary Gateway ZDHC platform. The Gateway ZDHC platform is an online database developed under the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) program, a global initiative that promotes the elimination of hazardous chemicals from the textile, tanning, and footwear supply chains to ensure consumers receive a safe product.
This portal allows manufacturers to verify the compliance of chemicals used in their processes with ZDHC standards, promoting greater transparency and environmental sustainability.
In practice, companies can consult the Gateway ZDHC to select safer chemicals, ensuring responsible chemical management and reducing the environmental impact of production.
All raw materials used in our production processes are subjected to stringent controls and tests along the entire supply chain, ensuring that the finished leather meets the highest ecological and environmental standards.

Traceability and Animal Welfare

The hides we use come exclusively from cattle raised and slaughtered for food purposes.
We guarantee complete traceability of the raw materials, from the slaughterhouse to the finished product.
Our suppliers are required to ensure animal welfare by adhering to specific certifications and respecting the "Five Freedoms," which ensure adequate nutrition, freedom of movement, veterinary checks, a natural life cycle, and physical and psychological well-being.

Contribute to Climate Change

The energy used by the company comes 100% from renewable sources, part of which is self-produced through the photovoltaic system installed on the tannery’s roof. Each year, a Thermographic Survey allows us to monitor and reduce any energy losses, improving consumption efficiency.
We adopt a Plastic-Free approach, eliminating the use of plastic in our processes and opting for more sustainable solutions.
We pay particular attention to reducing water consumption during processing, implementing technologies and practices aimed at minimizing waste. For our packaging, we exclusively use 100% recycled paper, further reducing our environmental impact.

STELLA HUB
It was born from our desire to contribute to the development of new green projects. It is a circular economy project to give a second life to our prestigious leathers. A dedicated style office that draws on the historical archive that allows us to design new projects of various kinds.

Design objects, unique pieces, and iconic works of art are just a few examples of how our leathers can be reused. Stella Hub is a set of inspirations aimed to design the object you have always dreamed of.
