Clothius - Tecelagem S.A. recognizes the importance of acting responsibly, ethically, and sustainably, committing to adopt practices that promote social well-being, environmental preservation, and economic development, contributing to a fairer and more balanced society.
The understanding that social responsibility is the commitment and obligation of organizations and citizens to contribute to the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the communities in which they operate is a further step in the pursuit of a socially responsible society, where actions go beyond the pursuit of profit and instead aim to implement practices that promote sustainable development, social justice, and respect for human rights. This concept also applies to citizens, who must act ethically and consciously, respecting the environment and contributing to improving living conditions in society at large.
In short, social responsibility is an approach that seeks to balance economic success with a positive impact on society and the planet. Thus, Clothius social responsibility policy reflects its ongoing commitment to integrity, respect for human rights, and improving the living conditions of the communities in which it operates.
1. Environmental Commitments
In a society where the need for environmental and social commitments in companies to promote sustainability and reduce negative environmental impacts is increasingly evident, it is important for Clothius to maintain practices that help build a positive image, strengthen its reputation, and generate trust with customers, employees, and partners, who increasingly value environmental responsibility. Companies that actively promote and implement their environmental commitments contribute to the preservation of natural resources, minimize pollution, and promote the efficient use of energy and materials, which can also increase operational efficiency and reduce costs in the long term.
Thus, at Clothius, we always strive to incorporate and use raw materials from sustainable sources, prioritizing natural and recyclable fibers whenever possible, and prioritizing production processes that reduce water and energy consumption, in addition to encouraging the reuse and recycling of materials.
Clothius understands that environmental commitments not only benefit the planet but also add strategic value to the company, creating a more sustainable and responsible business environment.
That said, and knowing there is still a long way to go, at Clothius, we understand that it is necessary to implement more sustainable techniques and update technologies to minimize pollutant emissions, water pollution, and waste generation, while keeping the responsible disposal of textile waste as a priority.
With this in mind, we always strive to maintain active environmental certifications, such as ISO 14001 and FEM verification.
2. Social Commitments
At Clothius, we guarantee decent and safe working conditions for all company employees, in accordance with national and international legislation.

3. Commitments to the Community
