Together we stand, divided we fall.
Addressing the challenges facing our environment and society is not a one man job: sustainability requires collective action. For this reason, Aquafil is committed to building a resilient, sustainable and ethical supply chain, by engaging suppliers that share our same mission and inspiring them to constantly raise their standards.

People first
Their dedication, expertise and passion are the driving force that enables us to develop innovative products and to create value for all our stakeholders.
Each one of our 2,550 employees brings to the table a unique array of knowledge, experience and perspectives that enables us to quickly adapt to changing market needs and to overcome challenges with agility and determination.
Corporate volunteering
For the first time, in 2023, we made about 500 hours of volunteering available to our workers. The aim is to encourage people’s participation in the life of the local community and to support the third sector. This new pilot project involved 16 employees at the Arco headquarters, who since May have dedicated some of their working hours to supporting the activities of organizations in the area: Casa Mia in Riva del Garda, a socio-educational center for children, and the Fondazione Comunità di Arco, a center for health care for the elderly. The concept of corporate volunteering was born in the USA in the 1990s, and is slowly spreading to Italy as well.
Aquafil’s initiative was the first of its kind in the Trentino region.

“The summer experience with Casa Mia’s kids was an invaluable opportunity for learning and sharing. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to challenge themselves by taking a deep dive into the past and becoming kids again for a few days.” – Simone Pincelli, Video-Graphic Designer, Aquafil S.p.A.
