Sustainability

Sustainability

We are responsible for our planet and everyone on it.

Sustainability is one of the core factors behind the business strategy of Türkün Holding and of Vanelli Textile, our gateway to the world. With the responsibility of being a pioneer in our sector, we work on reducing our environmental impact, creating value for our employees and society, and transparent governance together.

Vanelli’s V-Care approach brings our future-oriented development goals and today’s needs into one strategy, and we aim to do it with beauty, heart and creativity.

Energy and climate

Thanks to the solar panels on our roof, 21% of our weaving production now runs on solar energy. LED lighting reduces our electricity use, and filters on our stenter chimneys halve our total organic carbon (TOC) emissions.

Water and chemicals

While the textile industry uses on average 120 litres of water per kilogram of fabric, we use less water in production and reuse 85% of it. On the ZDHC Gateway platform, which we joined in 2023, we report our chemical and wastewater data regularly through the InCheck, ClearStream and Supplier to Zero modules.

Circular products

20% of the new products in our collections are made from recycled fibres. We work with international certificates such as the Global Recycled Standard, OEKO-TEX and Better Cotton (BCI), and develop projects that bring waste woven fabrics back into the cycle.

People and society

With our social compliance policy we put human life above everything else. Through our SEDEX membership and BSCI audits we monitor working conditions transparently, and we work on women’s employment and on the development of our people.
