HAVANA&CO.’s SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS.

Sustainable development
Havana&Co. is determined to take a leading role in an ecological transition geared toward the sustainable development of its processes and products.
Actions have long been put in place to concretely reduce waste and pollution from our processes. The creation and design activities of Havana&Co. collections are powered by renewable energy sources through the installation of a photovoltaic system.
The focus extends to packaging, whose paper or pulp-derived elements are FSC-certified to protect biodiversity and our planet.
In recent years we wanted to take it a step further by founding HavanaECO, a conscious, genderless and 100% Made in Puglia brand that carefully researches raw materials and processes with reduced environmental impact in a slow fashion perspective. Find out more here.
Circularity
The reuse of fabric offcuts, with a view to a circular economy, is currently the subject of a dedicated study that is in the process of being defined.
In particular, production waste is used in upcycling projects involving young students with the intention of raising awareness of applied sustainability among the younger generation.
Throughout the supply chain, virgin plastics have been entirely replaced by 100% post-consumer recycled plastics along with the introduction of an innovative plastic material, Green PE, which is 93% derived from renewable sources.
At HavanaEco, the fabrics chosen are innovative and composed of fibers derived from waste from other industries such as wine and citrus. Find out more here.


Transparent communication
On this path to sustainable development, unity of purpose shared with suppliers and stakeholders becomes crucial.
The brand and the group are working, with scientific support from a UNIBA industrial PhD, to draft a sustainability report to properly and transparently communicate all commitments and actions aimed at sustainable development.
In addition, we believe that technological innovation is important as a support for transparent communication.
The brand has worked to implement the Digital Product Passport (DPP), a smart labeling system that through scanning a QR code returns information about the garment, such as composition, fit, miscellaneous and geographic supply chain information, and sustainability KPIs.
This voluntary disclosure tool has a section with tips for the best care of the garment and reuse possibilities to extend its life cycle as much as possible. It is also possible for the end consumer to give feedback.
In this way we are able to establish a relationship of trust with end users, inducing reflection in them and gathering their opinions.
Havana&Co.’s goal is to be an active participant and promoter of change.
