Sofila is committed to eco-responsible issues and is a player in CSR policy
Beyond its expertise, Sofila has been a committed player for several years in the area of social and environmental responsibility.
Sofila was one of the first companies in the textile industry to carry out a carbon footprint assessment (2022).
Several ways of improving this carbon footprint have been identified and are being implemented (mainly energy and materials).
Since 2022, we have removed all our gas-powered equipment; the only energy we use today is electricity.
Respect for social rules, sharing value with our teams.
For many years now, we have been addressing the issues surrounding environmentally responsible materials:
- Use of recycled materials for polyesters and polyamides, supported by our GRS certification
- Constant search for new environmentally responsible materials (natural or artificial origins)
- Partnership-based development of a 100% bio-sourced material, Greenfil®, in support of Arkéma for development in the form of thread
