Biodiversity applied to the Biella textile sector, with concrete examples of water and waste management (optimization and recovery), and the search for renewable sources gathered from “mature” companies in terms of sustainability awareness. This was the underlying theme of the training program “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Textile Supply Chain,” led by Tollegno 1900. The coaching training initiative is part of a more comprehensive training project on the green transition, which, divided into nine thematic modules for a total duration of 250 hours, saw the participation of all levels of the company in both classroom activities and on-site training sessions. The very opportunity to step outside the company and engage with local businesses in the textile and wool sector, with their strong green credentials, fostered dialogue among the participants, who were called upon to share their experiences and mutually influence one another. But that’s not all. The initiative allowed the participating local companies—Vitale Barberis Canonico, Lane Cardate, Pettinatura di Verrone, and Magnolab—to generate a virtuous circle in the name of a shared vision: improving their operations while respecting the environment and people. Fabio Quaregna, Compliance Manager at Tollegno 1900 and the creator and “director” of the entire project, is also convinced of this. He was able to count on the support of recognized professional consultants and instructors who shared their expertise.
