From the beginning 25 years ago, at Gioseppo they knew they wanted to get involved actively with the world around them and offer customers products respectful with the environment.
This training included an introduction to the pillars of the circular economy, as well as a review of the opportunities it offers throughout the value chain, with examples of how it is currently being implemented in other organizations in the sector. Teams worked to identify implementation opportunities specifically in Gioseppo. Each group listed the opportunities, evaluated and prioritized them. Each group had a spokesperson who shared them with the rest of the teams.
The goals of the session were:
- Understanding the fundamentals of the circular economy and how they differ from recycling as the primary option
- Learning practical examples of the implementation of circular economy strategies in fashion
- Mapping, evaluating and prioritizing circular economy actions with the possibility of implementation in Gioseppo, according to their degree of reduction of environmental impact, viability and economic return
