From the very beginning, we at Oniverse have not only strived to offer products of the highest quality that are a pleasure for our customers to wear, but also to promote the highest quality of life at work for our employees.

We all spend a large part of our life at work, whether it be in an office, a factory, or a store.

It’s important for time spent at work to be quality time, not just time spent watching the clock waiting for the shift to end. 

It’s important that relationships between colleagues are positive and constructive and that work environments are pleasant to be in.

Everyone should feel like they are doing something important and useful, like their work is not just a means to an end but also an opportunity to grow as an individual.

We try to achieve these goals by encouraging employees to be very direct when collaborating with colleagues, something we promote through a horizontal organizational structure avoiding hierarchy where possible.

We believe that it’s in the company’s own interest to make employees feel valued and to help them grow. We hire young adults at the end of their studies and provide them with genuine opportunities to gain experience. Helping them develop personally means they’re ready to take on roles of ever-growing importance in no time, sometimes even moving between company departments.

We directly oversee every step of the production process, whether it be from design to production, or even sales in store and online, and our quality-focused approach means that every step of the process is as important as the next. Only with the input from everyone who works with us can we reach our goals - and we’ve got a few!

 

ASIA & THE USA

Initially, Calzedonia was based in the Italian and then European markets. Only recently has the company begun its newest venture opening stores in China, Japan, and the USA. The planning and investment in these markets, without forgetting growth in Europe, will be the focal point of Calzedonia’s attention and business investments.

 

E-COMMERCE & NEW METHODS OF PURCHASING

Despite the fact that, in Italy, these newer purchasing methods were adopted later than in many other countries, we at Calzedonia are currently investing in the creation of a new digital communication and sales platform. Many have already praised the system on its merits and we are sure others will follow.

 

MULTI-BRAND

Our company, born from the Calzedonia brand, has gradually transformed into a group comprising several brands, all with the distinct characteristics of individual companies, which span across a range of sectors working on various products. Overall, this reduces the risks posed when working in one market alone.

 

SUSTAINABILITY

In keeping with our company values, we don’t just care about sustainability because it’s trendy right now.

We have always aimed to improve the lives of our employees and clients, as well as the environment that surrounds us. It gives us hope and we see it as a great source of pride every time we reach a goal in this area.

Having motivated employees and colleagues and satisfied clients, reducing waste, and contributing positively to the environment in which we work are our key commitments when it comes to guaranteeing the continual health and growth of our company. Sales and profits are important but above those is the relationship built on trust and loyalty that we develop with our clients, suppliers, and employees. That’s the real capital a company should grow and preserve.
