Environmental sustainability

Acknowledging the need to safeguard our planet's resources, a few years ago Pidigi began a path aiming to protect the environment. The target is to contribute for the textile, footwear and leather industries to develop a circular economy process and therefore eco friendly in the production of their products.

Following the closing of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP24) in Katowice in December 2018, Pidigi has formally committed itself, by signing the "Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action", in a collaborative approach at an international level, to the issue of climate impact of the fashion industry by promoting the necessary aspiration to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement to create a climate-neutral world.
