Denim maker Vicunha encourages reading as CSR activity

In addition to promoting growth in poorer regions by creating numerous jobs, VICUNHA has high social standards that include the following: Comprehensive insurance protection, optimal employee care by doctors and nurses in each manufacturing facility, health plans that go far beyond state standards with a number of available upgrades, special agreements with pharmacies and doctors, banks with very favorable conditions in factories, coverage for the elderly and widows/widowers, and education and training to increase the chances of promotion.

The highest work safety measures also apply, and accident-free operation is promoted and rewarded with bonuses. The in-house canteens are almost better than European standards, with fresh buffets laid out three times a day. Executives and employees eat together.

VICUNHA’s adherence to international standards gives them a pioneering role in Brazil and the world, underlined by their scrupulously clean production facilities and high environmental protection measures.

They follow the motto "water leaves the factories cleaner than it came in." VICUNHA has replaced the use of oils and fuels in their production processes with organic materials such as cashew shells and sugarcane pulp. As a result, the company has reduced its monthly carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 10,000 tons.
