Corporate commitment
We believe sustainability has a double value: environmental and social. At Furpile Moda, we have always had a proactive approach to the environment, which includes adopting strategies based on respect for people and the local area, reducing waste of any kind (making quality products helps) and embracing discovery, knowledge and innovation.
Roadmap
1.Clear objectives
As a company, we have clear objectives regarding the sustainability and traceability of our entire supply chain. However, achieving them with efficient infrastructure and consistent investments is nearly impossible.
2.Industry 4.0
Among our primary objectives is the integral transition to Industry 4.0 through the adoption of work digitalization systems: software and technological devices (AI) capable of processing and storing an enormous amount of crucial data. Fundamental support tools not only for single employees and operations but also for the implementation of the entire production process.
3.Materials and technology
We are fully committed to constant research and new technological applications, which allow us to develop materials with outstanding technical characteristics while further lowering our impact on the planet.
4.Important choices
We have chosen not to use any harmful chemicals or products to make our samples and products. We select our suppliers very carefully, pick suitable raw materials, and never stop thinking of new ways to reduce waste and improve our production cycle. Last but not least, we strive to make excellent products.
5.Clean and reneweable energy
Thanks to state incentives, in 2010, we started building solar panels for a total of 754 kWp, an investment amounting to over 2 million euro. Over the following years, three other systems were installed on the roofs of the warehouses for a total production of over 1,450,000 kWh per year.
Connection to the local area
"We feel it is our duty to give something back to the territory."
Innovating, growing and enhancing the textile district of Prato is one of our priorities: we really want to give back to the place where our story began. First of all, we have never relocated production; it’s still here in Prato, together with the company’s headquarters. But there’s more, as we actively support sports activities and collaborate with the laboratories of the city's university, including initiatives dedicated to young designers.
Among our primary objectives is also to help the entire local supply chain achieve the highest and most up-to-date regulatory and production standards. We also love to remember ourselves and everyone where we come from and how we got here; for this reason, we have created a "fabric library", an open archive of our production everyone can visit: thousands of different solutions, technologies, finishings and designs.
