Changing continuity - A model of increasingly responsible growth. ASPESI is focusing on developing an ever-more responsible operational model aimed at minimizing environmental and social impact to create added value in all our activities.
Our responsibility strategy is anchored in ASPESI’s heritage and values, aiming for a positive legacy that respects the ethical values that have always guided the company’s evolution.

First and foremost, the timelessness and longevity of our garments, designed to extend their life cycle and ensure durability over time.

In this context, in recent years ASPESI has defined a structured set of ESG objectives to be achieved within a short-to-medium-term timeframe. Our efforts will be detailed in the first sustainability report, which will account for the actions taken until the end of 2024, briefly mentioned below:

ENVIRONMENT

From an environmental perspective, the Group has consolidated its commitment by becoming a signatory of the UN Global Compact in 2021. The focus of our actions is on the increasing use of renewable materials and energies, as well as the reduction of our emissions, energy and water consumption, and the respect for animal rights.

SOCIAL

In the social domain, Aspesi's commitment focuses on creating greater well-being for our employees and the communities we serve. This includes respect for diversity and support for gender equality, which have always been integral to our operations. This commitment has been further endorsed by our acceptance as a signatory of the UN Women Empowerment Principles and the presentation of the Biennial Gender Equality Report in 2022.

GOVERNANCE

With over 50% of our producers based in Italy, our governance strategy aims to ensure that all our garments are made in accordance with workers' rights and ethical business principles, verified through a thorough and ongoing process of social and environmental audits. Our responsible sourcing practices are strengthened by our commitment to structurally incorporating production by social enterprises, creating job opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged communities. ASPESI is a founding partner of Ethicarei, the first Italian supply chain for ethical production guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), and has developed partnerships with Mifuko and Made51.
