Sustainability is the new luxury OUR GREEN VISION By pursuing sustainable fashion, we want to establish harmonious relations with both the environment and people in a framework of total and absolute transparency. Sustainability is fashion combined with beauty. Since 2015, our institution began a process consisting of continuous research, experimentation with new natural materials, special finishes, and partners all over the world who pay attention to the correctness of production processes and methods and obtain certifications to guarantee transparency and traceability. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Certifications La responsabilità sociale è uno dei grandi temi che pone al centro l’impatto ambientale. Per questo l’utilizzo delle certificazioni è garanzia di trasparenza e tracciabilità dalla provenienza, alle lavorazioni alle colorazioni. Botto Giuseppe ha scelto: Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM is an approach that adapts industrial models to nature, converting production processes and assimilating the materials used to natural elements that must, therefore, be regenerable. RWS is the quality certification for the origin of wool from controlled farms that pay particular attention to animal wellbeing, the recovery of the natural landscape, and responsible land management. RWS certification guarantees that the wool is carefully selected, traceable and monitored along the entire supply chain, from origin to finished product. The ZQ mark guarantees traceability and monitoring throughout the supply chain. All wool is sourced from sheep whose health is monitored. Breeders are required to adhere to rigorous standards to ensure the highest quality wool, monitored throughout the entire process. The whole supply chain is traced, processes where chemicals are used are monitored, and chemical mixtures evaluated according to the requirements of the Project shared with the Ministry of Health and Consumer Associations. The chemical mixtures used, the textile raw materials and the processed and finished articles must comply with the requirements of the National Chamber for Italian Fashion Guidelines. BCI (BETTER COTTON INITIATIVE). Some highly technical yarns mix the properties of cotton with those of silk and wool. In this situation, it is guaranteed that 100% of the cotton purchased and processed comes from BCI-accredited sources, i.e. from cotton farmers who adhere to the world’s largest agricultural sustainability programme for cotton. GRS (GLOBAL RECYCLE STANDARDS) is recognised as the most prominent international standard for sustainable manufacturing of clothing and textiles made from recycled materials. The standard recognises the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and consumption model, with the aim of encouraging the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and increasing the quality of recycled products. THE GOOD CASHMERE STANDARD certifies sustainable cashmere for the purpose of ensuring the care and wellbeing of the cashmere goats, and also considering the living and working conditions of breeders and the protection of the surrounding environment. The Good Cashmere Standard® is an independent standard for sustainable cashmere, developed by the aid by trade foundation (abtf), that aims to improve the welfare of cashmere goats, the lives of farmers and farming communities, and the environment in which they live. THE LYCRA COMPANY is an industry leader in developing sustainable products that address critical needs in the apparel, textile and personal care sectors. Technical fibres are produced in compliance with environmental protection regulations. We travel all over the world to find the best raw materials from farms that share our same vision for sustainability and philosophy FARMS The yarns and fabrics belonging to the Naturalis Fibra collection come from selected farms in Asia, Oceania, South America and South Africa. We travel all over the world to find the best raw materials from farms that share our same vision for sustainability, applied to all production processes, starting with the well-being of the animals, the territory and the workers. Managing the territory by alternating pastures for sheep and cattle grazing is a conservation method that protects the soil and the growth of new crops. It prevents the land from being used excessively, which can lead to desertification. This practice derives from concern for general wellbeing: the soil, the animals and the natural cycle are connected through a holistic process that can provide the best for everyone. The secret to creating excellent products with high quality standards is to work with partners who share the same philosophy. Together, we make more sophisticated and functional choices to ensure that our raw materials become more elegant and as close to perfect as possible. #ilovenaturalisfibra OUR SUSTAINABLE COLLECTION Naturalis Fibra NATURALIS FIBRA YARNS AND FABRICS COME FROM SELECTED FARMS IN ASIA AND OCEANIA Naturalis Fibra is a collection of yarns and fabrics that has two common denominators: natural fibres that safeguard the environment, and the capacity to comply with the 4 fundamental criteria for maintaining excellence in a sustainable process. » Search for natural materials and manufacturers with high transparency and sustainability criteria » Animal welfare and land management » Environmentally friendly production system » Focus on treatments and dyes Slowool Superfine mulesing-free Merino wool, certified by Cradle to Cradle and RWS, is the pride and joy of the Naturalis Fibra collection. Transparency and traceability through all supply chain steps, from the original raw materials to the final product, express the essential values of the philosophy of sustainability, which dictates that environmental protection and the health of people and animals are the values of a new form of luxury. Slowoolly An incredibly lightweight yarn made of totally sustainable superfine mulesing-free merino wool originating on the Congi farm. It has a fineness of 15.5 and 17.5 microns. A touch of elastane makes the yarn more elastic, non-deformable and workable. Slowool Silk The production of Indian Slowsilk features the absence of pesticides. This process yields sustainable, ethical silk thread. It is a “cruelty-free” silk because the processing does not involve the death of silkworms: in fact, the silk is obtained by collecting what remains of the cocoons after the butterflies have opened them. Slowool Stretch Sustainable biodegradable elastomers, produced with low environmental impact production cycles, enhance the performance of the wool fibres. Aroha ZQ certified extrafine merino wool, from farms in New Zealand. This highly ductile and workable yarn maintains its characteristics of softness and lightness. Slowool Cashmere Traceable cashmere originating in Inner Mongolia retains the luxurious, precious quality of the yarn. Natural Born Cashmere An excellent quality fine combed yarn, rendered even more exclusive because it is not dyed. It is presented in the typical colours of the animal’s natural fleece. Certified, NM 2/70.000 Green Cashmere Sustainable luxury with recycled cashmere that does not alter the consistency and softness of this precious, exclusive yarn.
