Oniverse is committed to reporting the environmental impacts of its business, striving to improve constantly and minimise them.
In the Code of Ethics, the Group has clarified how, in this context, its efforts seek to minimise the environmental impact with a series of measures implemented during all phases and the entire life cycle of its products, from design, production, distribution and retail through to end use.
In 2019, these commitments received a new boost following adhesion to the Fashion Pact, under the scope of which the Group is working to achieve shared objectives by which to halt global warming, restore biodiversity and protect the oceans.
Thanks to self-production of renewable energy, the purchase of guarantee of origin certificates and continuous energy efficiency, the Group has avoided 101,686 tCO2e
Energy from renewable resources
We are committed to zeroing deforestation by 2025
Reduction of disposable plastic
Oniverse has decided to analyse all phases of the production chain in order to identify its critical aspects. The reporting makes it possible to understand the problems and thus define a strategy aimed at reducing the environmental impact.
Calzedonia renews its commitment to creating a concrete and measurable impact. After collaborating with WWF Italia (2021 and 2022), the last of which contributed to the cleaning of over 3 million m2, 80 interventions and 4.7 tons of waste collected; Calzedonia relaunches this important partnership with the ‘Adopt a Beach’ project by adopting 100 beaches. Thanks to the citizen science activity, all participants will be able to actively contribute to the collection of waste present in the assigned area, but also to the collection of primary data (waste composition and quantity), which will then be shared with the association to create more effective cleaning and sea protection strategies.
Tezenis renews its commitment to the environment through collaboration with Marevivo, with the aim of contributing to the removal of plastic dispersed in the sea and promoting greater awareness on the importance of its protection. The project involves both patrolling the Italian coasts with Pelikan boats for the search and recovery of waste in the most exposed areas (ex. port areas, estuaries of rivers, small coves), and the organization of 14 days dedicated to environmental education on the beach, in order to bring the participants closer to the sea and its secrets, promoting a deeper bond and a greater awareness of its unique characteristics, as well as the challenges and threats that put its balance at risk.
Thus, together with the WWF and Marche Polytechnic University, we have launched a study aiming to analyse the impact of the release of microplastics in the swimwear production chain, starting with the dyeing of fabrics, followed by its use in the sea and through to washing at home.
The collaboration aims to answer various questions:
Once these questions have been answered, we will be able to improve our understanding of the variables that most impact the release of microplastics. Following this, action will be planned to minimise the issue and raise awareness amongst all chain players.
