Philosophy

RIONE FONTANA
Benefit Corporation

Food, energy production, up to an everyday area which is very close to us: what we wear. The clothing industry affects the fragile ecosystem in which we live, and, now more than ever, we have the task of choosing a more responsible form of consumption under every aspect, from production to purchase.

Our Commitment

Animal Free.
Attention for nature, the environment and animals.

We give priority to suppliers and products that respect society and the enviroment and do not damage nature nor animals for the sole purpose of production.

What does it mean? That we select our products according to environmental and social sustainability criteria. We promote the support for product lines that are able to respect animals, but also the big home that is the Earth, which we should leave as a better place compared to how we found it.

Social responsibility.
Focus on the community.

We want to work in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way towards people, communities, territory and environment, cultural and social goods and activities, institutions and associations, and other stakeholders.

What do we believe in? We believe in the power of relations, of listening and dialog.
For this reason, we conduct periodic surveys to check the satisfaction of ou employees, and we offer various corporate and extra-company trainings. We believe in the importance of community and territory and therefore we support associations and other institutions that share the same values.

Capta Charitable Organization.
Focus on people, children and growth.

Every year, we donate part of our profits to Centro CAPTA in Vicenza, considering cash disbursements and donations in kind, time of the employees, shareholders and founders of the company as part of the profit.

What do we do? Together with Fondazione Capta in Vicenza,
we support and promote the growth of children and teenagers. We give our help in the realization of relational and artistic workshops, residential holidays and summer camps, as well as for social and labour inclusion for older kids.
