Chargeurs PCC, a global leader in garment interlinings and technical textiles, has launched an ambitious Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, aimed at significantly cutting its environmental footprint and strengthening sustainability across its entire value chain.
Key Goal: Reduce CO₂ emissions by 46% by 2030, supported by product innovation, operational efficiency, and social responsibility.
CEO Gianluca Tanzi emphasized the company’s pioneering role in transforming the textile industry toward sustainability. “Our mission is to lead innovation that merges performance with environmental consciousness,” he stated.
This new ESG roadmap includes:
Carbon Footprint Reduction: Operational upgrades at the Lainière de Picardie site have already reduced emissions by 11% in 2024. The shift from steam to hot water systems and machinery upgrades are part of a larger decarbonization plan.
Circular Product Innovation: The company is expanding its Sustainable 360 range featuring certified bio-based, recycled, and natural fibres. Highlights include:
100% Monomaterial Polyester Interlinings for better recyclability
Zero Dye Water Collection, eliminating water usage in the dyeing process
Water risk assessments across all production sites using WRI’s Aqueduct tool
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Preservation:
75% of the Lainière site remains a protected natural habitat
A reforestation initiative in Brazil with WeForest planted 1,500 trees
Participation in COP16 Biodiversity Summit
Global ecosystem restoration partnerships
Social & Supply Chain Governance:
By 2024, 80% of suppliers completed SMETA audits
Ongoing expansion of audits across the full supply chain
Transaction Certificates ensure material traceability
Launch of an internal RSL (Restricted Substances List); 60% of products and 90% of raw substances already compliant
The company’s “Local for Local” model also underpins its sustainability push—prioritizing regional sourcing, localized production, and closer supplier collaboration to reduce environmental impact and boost community resilience.
With a presence in 90 countries and partnerships with over 7,000 clients, Chargeurs PCC Fashion Technologies aims to set new benchmarks for responsibility, innovation, and impact in the global textile supply chain.
