Atlantis Headwear: sustainable and designer textiles

For us, being sustainable is not just a business opportunity, but an everyday behaviour. It is not just a responsibility but the natural evolution that every company must face. Over the years, our dedication has become something more: a commitment to production that is more respectful of the planet and people. Since 2018, we have decided to reduce our environmental and social impact through a path made up ofconstant dialogue with our stakeholders, research into new materials and solutions. Impact for us is the inevitable consequence of everything we do, which is whysustainability represents perhaps the greatest challenge and we cannot disregard not considering in the company ecosystem what is also the environment and people. This is why our strategy is anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. United Nations where we work day after day on three crucial pillars: product and supply chain, environment, people.

SDG12: . - We are committed to making the Atlantis collection entirely sustainable by 2025 - We invest in R&D and product innovation, with a view to the circular economy - We raise awareness in the supply chain on ethical issues and workers' rights - We act transparently in our dealings with customers about the products and services we offer. SDG 13.15: - We sensitise the supply chain to pursue practices that reduce environmental impacts - We evaluate suppliers according to their ethical and environmental performance - We propose more environmentally friendly logistics solutions SDG 4,5,8:. - We promote lasting, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full employment and decent work - We value our employees and invest in their professionalism - We value our roots in the local community

Some of our successes: - C2022 and 2023 collections designed for 100% sustainability features such as dope-dyeing, organic cotton, recycled cotton and polyester, recycled nylon and Polylana® fibre - Strengthened supply chain monitoring through forced labour prevention questionnaires analysed by SGS Italia SpA - Analysed the environmental impact of the most representative articles in our collection through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and obtained Carbon Footprint certification by 2022 - Absorbed approx. 182 tonnes of CO₂ by 2021 with the "Forest of Tales"(a private forest with 600 trees located 8 km from the company headquarters) - Increased the number of women in the company (currently 58% of employees and 73% of managers) and reached 50% of employees under 35 years of age - Invested in a new and broader Welfare programme - and of course embarked on the path with 3bee to help the environment .

It reflects our love and care for the environment. Master Italia had already started to consider trees as ambassadors of our brand and our environmental commitment; in fact, we own a forest at the Casa dei Racconti inn, near the company headquarters, which we have surveyed and enhanced and whose CO2 impacts we have calculated. From trees then we moved on to their inhabitants, in particular bees which are endangered due to climate change. The project gave us not only the opportunity to help these tiny insects but also to tell a story of passion, work, technology and love for the planet.
