APPAREL THAT FITS THE PLANET
At Della Terra we understand that our Mother Earth is a limited edition. And we exist to do everything in our power to help save it. Join us and be part of the change.
At Dellaterra
We firmly believe that the only way to do business is by creating financial systems and models that protect our planet and do not cause any harm to anyone, directly or indirectly, involved in our supply chain. We are and always have been radically transparent about our social and environmental practices from the beginning. Minimizing the environmental impact of our products is our priority and the pillar that guides all our design and business decisions. The climate crisis is our number one concern and we understand that to be part of the solution we must start by tracking our own footprint. All of our products have a significantly lower impact on the environment than traditional garments thanks to their fabrics, trims and packaging, as well as the processes used to produce them. We have started the process of quantifying the impact of each garment in terms of:

Water
WATER At Della Terra we try to avoid dying processes at all costs and instead prioritize sourcing from factories that:
- Recirculate the water consumed during their industrial processes.
- Have zero water dumpings during dying and printing to avoid at all costs contamination of our natural resources.
- Use only oeko-tex and GRS approved chemicals for dyeing and finishing. monitor and control water usage.
- In fact, the life cycle of our Hemp fabrics are traced from beginning to end and have received ECOCERT: a certification guaranteeing their sustainability.
ENERGY
Della Terra currently operates online only but it is deeply committed to operating through clean energy. This is why we have ensured our main partners share our values and take the same care for the planet that we do. Hemp Fortex: they account for 15% of our line for example is the only authorized agent of the world’s first-tier brand “Trinasolar” in Rushan. Trina Solar’s photovoltaic system has world-class quality and has ranked first in global sales for two consecutive years. Fabricato: they account for 30% of our line and they autogenerate 68% of their energy. This is the equivalent to the energy consumption of 580,000 households. Spataro Napoli: our main manufacturing supplier is currently updating their energy supply to shift to solar powered operations.

TRANSPARENCY
We value transparency and believe that one of the main problems with sustainability in the fashion industry is that it is self-reported and unregulated. This is why we decided to get traced and analyzed by BCOME: to have a trustworthy third party auditing our products and increasing our accountability.

PARTNERS AND SUPPLIERS
We pride ourselves of working only with suppliers who share our values. To ensure fair labor conditions we regularly visit our manufacturer’s facilities or ask for international accreditations and certificates that provide guaranteed reliability through third party audits.
All of our partners go through an extensive vendor registration process where documentation must be provided to support the legality of their operations. We are working on developing DELLA TERRA’s own Code of Conduct to which all sourcing partners must adhere to. This is one of our main sustainability goals by end of 2021.
Additionally 100% of our garments are manufactured in Colombia close to our HQ. This reduces our CO2 footprint and allows us easily collaborate with our manufacturing partners and closely monitor their social and environmental practices.
