Marchio 4sustainability con pay off

Fonte Lavatura Industriale spa has a tradition that dates back to 1978 with textile dry cleaning and has evolved thanks to the integration in the company of the finishing department with machines for washing, impregnation/drying and the Airo series. Today the company has a highly qualified finishing department comprising coppering, decatizing, kd, steaming, sheeting line, gauzing line, emery, sanfor and mirrors for fabric control and equalising rollers. La Fonte has always based its success on the value of its employees and its constant commitment to improve and certify its production standards, not only in terms of quality and capacity but also for the environmental impact and the intelligent and sustainable exploitation of resources required for processing.

this initiative contributes to the following main UN Sustainable Development Goals

DATA REFERENCE PERIOD

from 30/06/2022 to 01/07/2023

LAST ISSUE DATE

IMPLEMENTATION LEVEL

the implementation level is defined after the assurance process following the achievement of the protocol’s minimum requirements and is reviewed annually

The company has implemented a track & trace management system. If there are outsourced processes and raw materials purchases, the company has also involved its suppliers on sustainability performances data collection, implementing a rating system to push them towards continuous improvement.

The company is a third-party processor and therefore the activities of mapping and evaluating the supply chain are not applicable. In this case, the implementation level attests the quality of its production traceability system for each work order and its integration into an information management system.
