We take ethical aspects seriously.

We are a Società Benefit: we have integrated into our corporate purpose, in addition to profit objectives, the aim of having a positive impact on society and the environment.

We have invested many months in selecting suppliers who could guarantee us high product quality and at the same time respect for working, environmental and ethical conditions.

For this reason we have chosen Italian artisan laboratories for the transformation, printing and finishing of the products and European wholesale producers who are ethical and certified for the origin of the raw material.

We use organic cotton and recycled materials.

We only use neutral colors to reduce the environmental impact.

The packaging and finishing of clothing is based on the principles of the Circular Economy: new life is given to waste and recycled materials.

Broccoly notebooks are also produced in an artisanal way, using the logic of recycling and upcycling.

For printing, both on fabric and paper, techniques with the lowest environmental impact are used.

Posters, tags and our catalogs are printed on FSC certified ecological paper made with by-products of agro-industrial processing and generated with 100% green energy. The inks used are eco-solvent.

For packaging we use recycled paper and recycled and compostable material, as well as a reusable system designed for online purchases.

Furthermore, we allocate a percentage of each sale to tree planting and are members of Vesti la natura, an association for the promotion of ethical and sustainable fashion.

For the t-shirts, sweatshirts and shoppers we collaborate with Il Filo Colorato, a Milanese social cooperative dedicated to work inclusion in the tailoring sector. An artisan workshop that offers employment, training and social reintegration to prisoners, migrants and refugees, and the unemployed looking for redemption, using waste fabrics and recycled materials.

The printing of t-shirts, sweatshirts and shoppers is entrusted to a small artisan workshop managed by Ginevra, also in Lombardy.

For the notebooks we collaborate with Parallelo, a Lombard social cooperative committed to the employment of migrants and people with difficulties which applies the principles of the circular economy to each product.

The printing of the posters is entrusted to Stk.lab, an independent graphic laboratory managed by Milva, an Italian-Argentinian who prints our illustrations on very high quality paper and with techniques with a lower environmental impact.

Historic company in the industry, long committed to reducing environmental impact.

75% of the energy produced comes from renewable sources (wind farms) while over 60% of waste water is recycled. Since 2012 they have published the complete list of direct suppliers and owned factories.
