CT Point developed a coherent sustainability journey, focuses on six priority areas where we can accelerate progress, through targeted investment in capital and resources, with the goal of reducing our emissions by 50% for Scope1,2 and 3, aligned with keeping the temperature rise below 1.5°, in accordance with the SBTi and contributing to the generation of global positive change, assuming a clear environmental and social responsibility.
Water is a precious resource and as a textile manufacturer we use lot of water for dyeing processes. We are putting our effort to find new production and organizational solutions which guarantee lower water consuption. We have significantly expanded our sustainable threads range including 100% recycled polyester threads both twisted and braided and sales are growing rapidly account in year 2022 for 4% of our total sales. Our key target is to yearly increase sustainable threads (both recycled or biobased) within our products range. Our goal is all about finding ways to “close the loop,” eliminate waste, and source materials from the disposed-of “waste” generated by the same system. We aim at increasing use of recycled materials or enhancing reclying practises. Packaging has a key role to decrease our overall indirect emissions. We are committed to shift towards circularity through product innovation and packaging solutions. Over the next years we will start pilot projects working downstream with our customers towards a reuse paradigm called “king spools loop towards zero waste”. By applying this paradigm based on 3 reuse, we will reduce our emisions by an additional 20%. Chemical products are high riskly for our environment, that is why we think it is vital to eliminate toxic and harmful substances from our production cycles in line with the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazadous Chemicals) roadmap to Zero Programme.ENERGYWATERFIBERSMATERIALSCHEMICAL
Climate change is impacting human lives and health in a variety of ways. It requires actions to reduce energy demand and switch energy systems from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
By the end of 2021 we shifted to 100% renewable electricity (compared with 38% in 2019).
17% of our GHG emissions comes from the consumption of electricity.By switching to 100% renewable electricity, C.T.Point accomplished a reduction of 70% of its emissions, thus contributing to achieve our target of limiting warming to 1.5°C as set out under our Science Based Targets.
We use dope dyed raw materials for our threads which allow us to reduce water consumption and guarantee superior quality performance.
We have invested in new dyeing machines that use less water.
By 2025 we will reduce our water consumption by 20%.
Recycled polyester has an impact up to 40% lower compared to virgin polyester.Our indirect emissions account for 77% of our overall emissions, that is why we decided to completely move away from using virgin polyester as it is one of the the main driver of our Scope 3.By switching to 100% recycled polyester yarns, we will accomplish a reduction of 20% of our emissions.
We eliminated the 88% of our plastic packaging from our products.75% of our cartons come from recycled paper.We are moving from virgin plastic support for our threads to recycled plastic support, thus enabling us to a future additional reduction of 12% of our emissions compared to 2018.
50% of the recycled plastic supports come from our production waste thus enabling us to reduce our waste by 25 %.
We are committed to positively manage impacts towards our employees, workers, customers, local communities and all our stakeholders in general. We promote an inclusive and respectful workplace environment.
Health and safety practices: effective, comfortable and appropriate health and safety equipment for all.
Equality, diversity and inclusion: equal employment opportunities and progression for all groups without prejudice.Fair labor practices: equal pay and working conditions, freedom of association, no coercion or harassment in the workplace.
Free use of the company’s hub for personal goods delivery.
Support to the local community’s initiatives.Support to charity and environmental national organizations.
In 2022 we adopted the Chemical Management Protocol 4sustainability, which implements the MRSL ZDHC and periodically and transparently measures the application level.
We implemented the 4S PRSL for raw material control.We implemented all the ZDHC CMS TIG requirements on internal and external processes.
No harmful substances in our products certified according to the OEKO-TEX 100 standard.
Environmental management system certification according to the UNI EN ISO 14001: 2015 standard, according to rules for effective management with reference to significant environmental aspects.
Compliance with the European Reach regulation on the use of non-hazardous chemicals.
This certification ensures our customers that our products are not only made with recycled materials, but also produced in an ethical and environmentally friendly way.
