Partner
Environmental protection
We collaborate with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, a community of individuals, NGOs and institutions that transforms plastic collected from the seas into high quality fabrics, to support oceans’ clean-up and to raise awareness of the seas’ pollution problem.
Pelfim was the first company in the world to obtain the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) in the handbags industry. In collaboration with the certifying body, we created a procedure that allows to calculate the environmental impact that a fabric bag has; from the moment of purchase of raw materials to the final disposal of the finished product.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
