Riopele has reinforced its commitment to environmentally responsible textile production by securing Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification for textiles made from organic fibers, the Portuguese textile company said. Based in Pousada de Saramagos, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Riopele is set to celebrate its centenary in 2027.
Recognized as one of the most demanding and prestigious international standards, GOTS certification ensures that the entire production and processing chain meets stringent environmental and social criteria. This certification promotes more sustainable processes that reduce environmental impact and foster fair and safe working conditions, driving continuous improvements in labor rights, the company adds on its website, Riopele.pt.
"Riopele aims to make fashion more sustainable by creating innovative and recycled fabrics, improving durability and circularity, optimizing production with advanced technology, and promoting an inclusive and respectful environment," says Isabel Domingues, the company's sustainability director.
