Filo has always been at the forefront of promoting and communicating textile production that adheres to social and environmental values. Today, Filo not only confirms its commitment, but also proposes a new approach to sustainability, expanding the concept to include responsible innovation.

Awareness about sustainability has grown significantly in recent years, and today, businesses – even up-stream SMEs along the supply chain – are much more active in communicating their environmental and social standards. Moreover, as both Paolo Barberis Canonico, president of the Unione Industriale Biellese, and Luca Sburlati, president of Confindustria Moda, reiterated at the Filo64 opening ceremony, being socio-environmentally sustainable and traceable is a competitive advantage over competitors. At the 64th edition, the new concept of sustainability was reflected in a completely redesigned Sustainability Area, created in collaboration with C.L.A.S.S., which highlighted responsible innovation. With this edition’s focus on natural fibers, the interactive space offered textile professionals the opportunity to discover not only materials, but also inspiration, ideas, valuable visions, and the effective tools to realize them. Thus, the spatial proximity between the renovated Sustainability Area and Filo’s other exclusive initiative – “Made in Filo”, the fabric collection conceived and created in-house by Filo – allowed visitors to take a real leap into the future of textiles.
