In Comac’s slogan there is a term that fully represents the company’s values and identity: people. For us, “Comac Professional People” is not just a way of making our personality recognizable. It helps us value our human element: all the people who have contributed to the success of the company. When there are two companies that care about people, and they are lucky enough to meet, something positive and encouraging can happen. These are the foundations of the new project between Comac and Progetto Quid, a collaboration that we define as ethical but also sustainable.
Comac and Progetto Quid: a collaboration is born
Before getting to the heart of this collaboration, it is worth telling the story of Quid. In 2013, a young and shrewd Veronese girl whose name is Anna Fiscale decided to found Quid, the association that today is a social enterprise made up of 150 people. Progetto Quid is the ethical and sustainable fashion brand through which the social enterprise gives work to vulnerable people, especially women, to support them in overcoming difficult personal and social situations. How? By producing garments and accessories using high-quality surplus fabrics donated by prestigious companies from the Italian fashion and textile sectors. A project to give a second chance both to people, who can thus re-enter the world of work, and to the materials with which these people produce clothing.
They become immediately evident the values on which Quid’s work is based, that are the same that also Comac shares. Two companies that operate in different sectors, but share an innovative business model capable of combining ethics, sustainability, people, circular economy and Made in Italy.
Why we believe in this project
For some time now, the commitment to sustainability and circular economy have been among Comac’s priorities. All our actions aim to reduce the impact that the organization has on the environment. To achieve this goal, we have involved all company areas and developed initiatives that support a culture of corporate social responsibility. We have adopted a new supplier selection method which is not based exclusively on economic criteria, but also evaluates social, ethical and environmental factors.
From the need to purchase the new Comac corporate uniforms, we got to know Quid and its business that celebrates inclusion, diversity and waste reduction. We immediately believed in this project, in the strength of people, especially women, and in the ability to be reborn to create something positive and impactful, both locally and internationally. In Quid we have not found just a supplier for our corporate uniforms, but we have discovered an organization that shares our values. Quid has allowed us to contribute to the creation of new opportunities for social integration that create value not only for people but also for our territory.
The result of an ethical and sustainable collaboration
Progetto Quid has therefore become an ethical and sustainable partner for Comac thanks to the development and creation of some garments and accessories that integrate into corporate life. Specifically, the new Quid-branded Comac t-shirts, hats and shoppers are produced with surplus fabrics coming from famous fashion brands. Furthermore, all the products included in the project have been made by the hands of people, especially women, with a fragile past to whom Quid has given the possibility to re-enter the world of work. This collaboration aims to reduce the waste of materials to respect the environment and, at the same time, support a social and ethical project.
We hope that this collaboration will bring a message of sustainability, both social and environmental, to many people, not only within Comac but also to all those who collaborate with the company. We are proud to make a small contribution to Quid’s journey and hope to contaminate other companies with this positive example as well.
