Sustainability put into practice along the entire value chain - our transparent supply chain

The textile value chain is long and full of challenges. Dibella assumes responsibility here and is committed to human rights, environmental protection and health. Sustainability that benefits everyone involved. We have adopted the high standards of GOTS and FAIRTRADE because quality needs standards.

Follow our transparent supply chain from its beginnings with small farmers!

1. Small farmers

Our textiles with the GOTS Fairtrade certificate set quality standards right from the start. During the cultivation of organic cotton by small farmers, the following requirements are already met:

Use of organic seeds
Environmentally friendly cultivation
Higher income
Neither child nor forced labour

2. Cooperatives

The cooperative supports the small farmers, for example, through the guaranteed purchase of the cotton harvest. The “roof” of the cooperative offers security and other advantages:

Purchase of cotton at fair prices
Training and support for farmers
Investments in regional infrastructure projects

3. Ginning

Ginning involves extracting the seeds from the harvested plants. These seeds can be used again by the farmer and do not have to be bought externally. This saves resources and brings further benefits:

Automated separation of fibres from seeds
Ginning without the use of hazardous chemicals
Availability of new organic seeds for small farmers

4. Spinning

The production facilities for the further processing of organic cotton are all Fairtrade certified and comply with the strict specifications:

Socially responsible production
Neither child nor forced labour
Observance of workplace safety regulations

5. Weaving

This production step is also based on the responsible treatment of employees and the environment:

High-quality fabrics
Quality assurance
Eco-friendly and socially responsible process

6. Dyeing

This is where the fabrics receive the desired appearance. In the bleaching and dyeing processes, our partners reliably and verifiably comply with the relevant guidelines:

Bleaching and dyeing methods not hazardous to health
Clarification and treatment of waste water
Observance of safety and environ-mental protection regulations
High consumer protection through avoidance of hazardous chemicals

In the bleaching and dyeing processes, our partners reliably and verifiably comply with the relevant guidelines

7. Sewing

The sewers who process the fabrics work under humane conditions. All employees receive recognition and appreciation for their performance:

Fair working conditions
Protection of the sewers’ health
Occupational safety standards
Fire and building safety

8. Dibella

Dibella presents the entire textile value chain transparently - starting with product development - and guarantees such significant benefits as:

Products selected in accordance with ecological, social and quality-based criteria
Provides sustainable, fair and durable textiles for the European market

9. Laundry

The transparent supply chain offers industrial laundries advantages in terms of textile properties and many communication options:

Environmentally friendly laundry process
Sustainable products for textile leasing
Laundry leasing supports multiple-use cycle

10. Hotel

Beyond the laundry service as such, the hotel receives sustainable added value. By using the certified textile concept it can clearly set itself apart from its competitors and offer its guests a special product and the associated good feeling:

Offers fair and eco-friendly products for guests
Creates a good feeling and experience during hotel stay

11. Guest

The use of sustainably and fairly produced textiles is discreetly but clearly communicated. In this way, the guest can experience the added value directly and will associate the hotel stay with a particularly good feeling, be pleased to return and recommend the hotel to others.
