All-round sustainability
Dorelan's commitment to the
environment
All our products are developed with respect for
the environment, a central pillar of the company's
mission. Today this work ethic remains a constant
in our respect for our workers and customers. At
Dorelan the careful use of resources is measurable,
not based on pretty words and good intentions.
Energy
We have always been extremely attentive and
sensitive to environmental issues. Over the years
we have implemented various initiatives and
internal processes to reduce our environmental
impact. First of all through the use of renewable or
certified green energy (solar, wind or hydroelectric).
In addition to meeting the factory's energy needs,
our photovoltaic system allows us to input clean,
renewable surplus energy into the grid, thus further
contributing to the community around us.
Since 2021, we have refurbished the lighting system
in our production area, replacing all fluorescent
lamps with new LED appliances. The aim is to
reduce electricity consumption and costs, as well
as reducing the need for maintenance. Every year
this prevents the emission of 57.5 tonnes of CO2, the
equivalent of 2880 trees.
Water
Water is not used in our production processes. But
we've gone further: to discourage the use of plastic,
we've installed two drinking fountains delivering
fresh filtered water free of charge for all our staff.
Once a year the water in our storage tanks and
drainage system is analysed, to guarantee the
standard of water discharged into the public sewer
system.
Rainwater is collected and stored for watering our
green spaces.
I'm a Dreamer
At Dorelan we're firm believers in the importance of
wellbeing, in all forms and settings. We work hard
to spread the culture of sleep, but also wellbeing in
a far broader sense.
Our company involves not only our people, but also
the surrounding area, connecting with schools,
institutions and social enterprises.
To this end we place great importance on
projects that strengthen connections and create
opportunities thanks to inclusive choices that
engage young people, students and workers.
Dorelan supports ambitious and synergistic projects
like I’m a Dreamer, an exemplary scheme that began
in 2017 and involves young fashion students from
the Istituto Tecnico Saffi-Alberti in Forlì, who have
created models and prototypes for the SOGNO_
RICICLO_CREO line for CavaRei, an integrated
organisation that supports people with disbilities
by developing their employment skills. Dorelan
contributes by providing surplus textiles and other
materials free of charge; these are used to produce
unique, ethical and sustainable products.
Dorelan People
In addition to an appropriate training scheme, we
have internally developed a series of team-building
initiatives in order to strengthen both a sense of
belonging and internal collaboration, involving
workers from their very first day with the company.
With this in mind, our in-house team has designed
a Welcome Kit for new employees. Thanks to the
reuse and recycling of production materials and
the creativity and manual skills of the people at
CavaRei, every individual can immediately begin to
feel part of the Dorelan world and its philosophy.
We regularly assess the health of our organisation
and the happiness of our employees by means of
a specially designed survey. Over 50% of our staff
took part in the most recent edition.
To improve our employees' quality of life, we
organise team-building activities in which there are
plenty of opportunities to spread the word about
the importance of sleep.
