Water

Water is the source of all life. Mismanagement of water can result in water scarcity and water pollution can cause harm to humans and animals. Most of CALIDA GROUP's water consumption is caused by farming, treating or wet water production procedures.

CALIDA GROUP itself does not operate any production facilities with water extraction, water treatment or wet production. That is why CALIDA GROUP cannot directly influence water consumption and wastewater disposal. However, it is committed to working in as water-friendly a manner as possible. Due diligence is exercised in the selection of external partners. Innovative and water-friendly raw materials are sourced, and strict chemicals management and production standards are demanded.

Waste

The textile industry creates huge amounts of pre- and postconsumer waste. Most of CALIDA GROUP’s pre-consumer waste is generated while producing, packaging, and distributing products. The biggest share come from textile waste generated. 

To reduce negative impacts on communities and environment CALIDA GROUP constantly works on the improvement of cutting procedures and the optimization of packaging material. Fabric and component leftovers are re-used for the creation of special makeups. Old, finished goods were released into second, third or even fourth life cycles.
