SPORT PLAYS GREEN: Erreà’s new sustainable narrative

We’ve always believed in treading lightly on our planet.

That’s why we continue to invest in eco-friendly technologies and low-impact production equipment. We embrace circular economy principles, eliminating waste and using recycled materials whenever possible. Even our clothing reflects this commitment, certified by Standard 100 Oeko‑Tex®, which sets some of the strictest limits on harmful substances in textiles. By 2030, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint by 30 % per item sold and increase the use of responsible materials by 20 %. These are important first steps—and there’s much more to come.

Because caring for the environment is a journey, not a destination.

Our Path Towards a More Responsible Production

Erreà is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations through various initiatives:

• investments in technologies for optimal energy efficiency;

• automation and internal logistics programming;

• automated lighting control system;

• implementation of internal sampling systems and 3D visualization;

• use of advanced and standardized fabrics;

• adoption of rigorous quality control procedures;

• re-use of packaging.

-30% Carbon Footprint

Erreà is committed to reducing the carbon footprint per unit sold by 30% by the year 2030.

We adopt a holistic approach, assessing the carbon lifecycle and identifying key emission sources in our supply chains.

We explore optimization opportunities in production and logistics processes, while investing in research and development to discover innovative and sustainable materials.

+20% Responsible Materials

Erreà is committed to sustainability, aiming to increase the share of products elaborated with responsible materials by 20% by 2030.

We collaborate with suppliers to ensure transparency and traceability, prioritizing the use of recycled materials to promote the circular economy.

We optimize production processes and adopt advanced technologies to minimize waste production.

Emissions Reduction

Erreà reduces direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by investing in high-efficiency energy technologies and harnessing renewable resources such as photovoltaic panels.

We integrate sustainable practices into our logistics infrastructure to drive change towards a greener and more sustainable future.

The Pillars of Our Action

• diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 30% of managerial roles are held by women;

• ethical sourcing and transparent, responsible supply chain;

• community engagement and development;

• product quality and safety;

• valorization of the relationship with suppliers.

Erreà promotes diversity and inclusion, with a strong commitment to gender equality, recognized by the UNI/PdR 125:2022 Certification.

Digital Product Passport

DPP

Erreà introduces the Digital Product Passport to ensure a traceable, transparent, and responsible supply chain. Developed in collaboration with Ympact, a leader in traceability solutions for the fashion and luxury sectors, the project enables each garment to be linked to a unique QR code. By scanning it, users can access a digital archive with detailed information about the origin of raw materials, production processes, certifications, and environmental impact. This initiative is designed to meet growing regulatory and market demands while fostering a more conscious dialogue between brands, the supply chain, and consumers.

Starting from March 1st, 2025, the Digital Product Passport will be available for all new Erreà products.
