GILI'S gets B Corp certification !
GILI'S is proud to have obtained B Corp certification this year.
After a year of in-depth auditing based on 300 criteria, GILI'S joins the very select club of French ready-to-wear companies to have obtained this label, and the only French swimwear brand to be certified.
B Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. GILI'S has successfully demonstrated its commitment to these fundamental principles, confirming its position as a committed and responsible player in the fashion industry.
Among these commitments and examples of concrete actions :
Optimizing our environmental footprint :
Short-run production in Portugal.
100% recycled & recyclable materials and organic cotton.
Oeko Tex and Seaqual® certification.
Philanthropic and civic commitment :
A program to collect swimwear for recycling.
Support for an association that helps orphans in Madagascar.
Financing plastic collection on beaches.
Diversity, equality and inclusion :
Our employees are the foundation of our business and our greatest asset.
Each one, with his or her own identity, history and experience, contributes actively to the creative process of developing our collections.
“Becoming a B Corp company was one of our ambitions, in line with our values and our desire to work with a positive impact on people and the planet”.
