SPAIN. Avolta has partnered with sustainable lifestyle brand Ecoalf to create employee uniforms from recycled materials for the duty-free stores at Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza and Mahón airports. Ecoalf was Spain’s first fashion company to receive the B Corporation sustainability certification in 2018.
The uniforms are made from recycled and low-impact materials, saving 3,210,000 litres of water and 12,100kg of CO2 equivalent emissions. The clothing collection has international certifications including PETA Vegan Approved, Global Recycled Standard and Organic 100 Content Standard, validating the sustainable origin of the materials.
“This collaboration with Ecoalf shows the commitment to environmental preservation that Avolta wants to reflect in our new Balearic Islands stores,” said Avolta’s General Manager in Spain Ángeles Montesdeoca.
“The fact that our employees, as our corporate ambassadors, wear these uniforms sends a clear message of our commitment to investing in a responsible and respectful business model. With ESG at the heart of everything we do, we care about the impact of our actions. We embrace a holistic approach to sustainability and are deeply committed to being a responsible company on a local and global level.”
An Ecoalf statement said: “Ecoalf was born to protect the planet’s natural resources and create a sustainable lifestyle brand, leading the change with every product. Sustainability, innovation, quality and timeless design are part of the Ecoalf DNA as a sign of durability and responsibility.
