Code of Ethics
Refining production processes by integrating advanced technologies to monitor, reduce, and eliminate waste.
Certifying our environmental achievements with clear and verifiable data.
Fabrics crafted from regenerated yarns, sourced from pre- and post-consumer waste, bio-based products, and recycled PET.
Contributing to the social and economic development of local communities, as detailed in our latest Sustainability Report, while fostering environmental awareness among our employees and customers.
Carvico's goal is to elevate the textile industry to fair and responsible standards, using the finest materials to protect both people and the planet.
In production, we use energy exclusively from renewable sources. The replacement of all mercury vapor lighting with next-generation lamps, the introduction of inverters, LEDs, high-efficiency motors, and improvements to weaving plants have led to a further reduction in energy consumption.

The water entering Carvico, drawn from wells, is used for four production cycles and then collected in Carvico's internal homogenization plant. Only after an equalization treatment is it sent to the consortium purifier, where a physical-chemical-biological treatment purifies the water before it is returned to the river. The water taken from the river is returned clean, with zero pollutants.
