Technology and research for a more sustainable future
In recent years, we have invested heavily in technologies to produce fabrics with minimal environmental impact, and we have dedicated a lot of space to collections with fabrics made from recycled fibers such as wool, cotton, polyester and polyamide.
Our certifications
Our certification as a concrete tool for our commitment: the concrete nature of our daily commitment is demonstrated by the numerous certifications awarded. Available for our customers for a long time now, to verify the traceability and sustainability of our fabrics:
BCI
(Better Cotton Initiative)
The BCI cotton initiative is responsible for certifying the production of cotton taking into account some very important sustainability factors such as: protecting all production areas, seizing social and economical opportunities which may arise for all involved in the production sectors.
Higg Index
Milior has been a member of the Higg Index since 2019. The Higg Index is a module to measure the social and environmental impacts of the supply chain and the sustainability performance of the company as a whole. Specifically, the Higg Facility Environmental Module (HIGG FEM) assesses the company’s environmental management system, energy and water use, level of emissions, wastewater treatment, waste management, chemical use and management. The Higg Facility Environmental Module is a sustainability assessment tool that standardizes how facilities measure and evaluate their environmental performance, year over year.
