Tonello’s first sustainability report highlights ‘blue thread’ of Veneto
Italian technology producer Tonello has published its first Sustainability Report with the aim of mapping energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste management.
Alongside environmental aspects, the report addresses governance and social topics such as conduct, workplace safety, training and organisational practices. Beyond performance indicators, it highlights how sustainability criteria are integrated into product design.
In the report, it noted growth: in 2024, it generated €33.2 million, up 27% from 2023.
The central focus of Tonello’s activity is innovation, aimed both at new applications for existing technologies and at developing innovative processes. Laser and ozone systems, advanced washing and dyeing machines, efficient dryers and digital monitoring tools can support measurable improvements in garment finishing processes, it said.
Tonello operates two production sites: one in Via della Fisica, the other in Via Lago di Molveno. Most of its supply chain partners are located in Italy and Europe, with 65% from the Triveneto area. It has installed more than 10,000 machines worldwide since 1981.
It said thanks to the vision of pioneers such as Adriano Goldschmied, Italian denim has carved out its own niche in the fashion world: “There is a blue thread that links creativity, resourcefulness and industrial vision which, since the 1980s, has helped to create one of the nerve centres of denim innovation in Veneto.
"Around this vision, a veritable denim district has grown up. This is a widespread laboratory where craftsmanship, experimentation and industry intertwine: a lively and responsive ecosystem populated by entrepreneurs, technicians, designers and workers, all animated by the same values and the same spirit of initiative.”
