ARPE IS A CERTIFIED B CORPORATION!
We are super happy to announce that Arpe is now a Certified B Corporate, making us one of the few SMEs in the Spanish textile sector to achieve this.
We are joining a global community of companies that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency and responsibility. Seeking the Benefit of all affected parties: employees, customers, communities and planet.
What does it mean for us to be a Certified B Corporation?
For Arpe, being a Certified B Corporate is the recognition of many years of experience and learnings, as well as our fundamental values: origin, sustainability and design.
We want to go beyond economic benefits, leaving a positive mark on all our processes. From the production in our small factory in Arenys de Munt, to the impact we generate with our products on the planet and communities.
What do we do as a Certified B Corporate?
The rigorous certification process has helped us review all our areas of action and impact, to find the key commitments and the necessary improvements.
We ensure that our employees work in fair, safe and flexible conditions. We prioritize their well-being and foster an inclusive work environment where each person feels valued. In addition, we promote continuous training and development opportunities within the company.
WORKERS
We manufacture with recycled materials, such as rPET post-consumer, to minimize the use of natural resources and contribute to the circular economy. We use 100% self-produced renewable energy. We monitor our emissions, waste and carbon footprint, and establish reduction goals.
ENVIRONMENT
We believe in the power of companies to contribute to the social and economic well-being of our environment, creating a business network in the community. That's why we produce at km0 and with more than 80% local suppliers. In addition, we actively participate in citizen initiatives and charitable organizations.
COMMUNITY
Our clients are the fundamental part of our mission. We are committed to offering them responsible, sustainable and high-quality textile products. We work to be transparent, providing ways to communicate with us, and ensuring that every purchase contributes to a cleaner, fairer future.
CLIENTS
We firmly believe that good governance is essential to ensure sustainability and long-term positive impact. Therefore, our business decisions are guided by the well-being of all interested parties, integrating social and environmental performance, as well as an ethical and transparent code.
GOVERNANCE
There is a long way to go without a doubt. The B Corp Certificate is a small recognition of everything we have already achieved, but also of everything we can (and should) do for a better future.
Thank you for joining us on this path... Let's keep going! 💪🏼💚
WE ARE CERTIFIED
