Sustainability and Innovation
The Portuguese textile industry is internationally recognised for its degree of development, leveraged by the strong investment made in innovation over decades, as well as for sustainable production quality.
The investment in digital transition combined with the training of professionals in the sector allows for the creation of a competitive ecosystem with a strong focus on quality, the perfect natural habitat for Performance by HM, which has always favoured efficient work and cooperation methodologies for the success of its clients.
Textiles are present in the daily life of all societies and their impact on the environment has made urgent action necessary. In the EU, textile consumption is the fourth largest impact factor on the environment and climate change.
Performance By HM is committed to being part of a responsible collective, contributing to the creation of a more environmentally friendly society with the use of sustainable and recycled raw materials. Change is a difficult process, but with attentive and receptive clients and suppliers, we can arrive at a greener production chain.
