THE 1ST CLIMATE NEUTRAL TEXTILE COMPANY IN THE WORLD
Since 2013 we have been the world’s number 1 textile company
Losing weight is one thing. But we want more. That's why we protect the environment and are committed to sustainability and human rights.
WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN
We are a young family business that was founded by women and the majority of our employees are women. That’s why it’s important to us to strengthen women’s rights and make life more beautiful and easier for all of us. Since 2013, we have not only been developing cooling textiles but have also been involved in the UN Global Compact, a United Nations (UN) initiative that, in addition to sustainability, human rights and environmental issues, works together with UN Women to promote the rights of women around the world . We therefore pay attention to fair and sustainable conditions in all processes. This begins in our company with an open corporate culture and communication policy, flat hierarchies and measures to protect the environment and promote women. We develop and produce exclusively in Germany and Europe because we want to control how our products are manufactured. It costs a little more but it’s worth it to us.
"We can't save the whole world with our products. By developing our cooling textiles, we can contribute a little to feeling good and living healthier. SlimCOOL should also contribute to this. By women for women!”
PERVORMANCE MEETS ECOLOGY
THE WORLD'S FIRST CLIMATE NEUTRAL TEXTILE COMPANY
Our environment is important to us. For us and our children. That is why we support the UN Global Compact, the United Nations “caring for climate” initiative and the World Forest Climate Initiative from the Senate of Economics. They are committed to environmental protection at a very high level together with politics and business in order to stop climate change.
But that’s not the end of it. We start with ourselves. We have reduced electricity consumption at our headquarters in Ulm through a variety of measures. We have also commissioned the climate partner agency to analyze our company and define suitable measures so that pervormance is international and the cooling textiles are climate-neutral. This means that all users can use our products for cooling in a wide variety of areas without leaving a CO2 footprint.
Since 2013, we have been the world’s first climate-neutral textile company.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ECO-SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY
SUSTAINABILITY
Shortly after the award ceremony for the “Place in the Land of Ideas” by the Federal President, we were appointed to the Senate of Economic Affairs.
This is made up of personalities from business, science and culture who are committed to the common good. The Senate’s goals are fair and sustainable business and an eco-social market economy. There is regular, intensive communication with those responsible for politics, with the focus being on advice from experienced experts during decision-making processes. The Senate wants to support politics with the experience from the business world and the knowledge of researchers.
This happens regardless of party and independent of the particular interests of individual entrepreneurs or industries. The Senate is represented by Prof. Dr. Dr. Radermacher, who enjoys an excellent international reputation as a member of the Club of Rome. The Senate is represented internationally through the Global Economic Network. Honorary President of the GEN is Prof. Muhammad Yunus, founder and director of the Grameen Bank and Nobel Peace Prize winner from Bangladesh. The balance between business and responsibility is important for international performance, with topics such as environmental protection and health as well as securing the future being key focuses.
THE TRILLION TREE CAMPAIGN
WE SUPPORT PLANT-FOR-THE-PLANET
pervormance international is part of the Trillion Tree Campaign, the most ambitious and largest reforestation project in human history. Together with the founder Felix Finkbeiner, the children of Plant-For-The-Planet and the patron HSH Prince Albert of Monaco, we are committed to achieving the climate goals of the United Nations.
TOGETHER FOR A BETTER CLIMATE
OUR TREE PLANTING ACTION
Together with Plant-for-the-Planet, the unw, the company Trivis and the Volksbank Ulm as well as the city of Ulm, we have started a climate initiative. It all started in 2009 with a school presentation by the then 9-year-old Felix Finkbeiner – today Plant-for-the-Planet is a global children’s and youth organization that has already planted 15 billion trees around the world with 67,000 children to stop climate change. On May 22, 2018, Felix received the Federal Cross of Merit for this. Prince Albert of Monaco is a patron and many scientists such as Prof. Dr. Dr. Radermacher from Ulm but also celebrities such as Harrison Ford, Gisele Bündchen, Til Schweiger and Peter Maffay support the organization.
On March 9, 2018, the launch event of the “Trillion Trees Campaign” by the youth organization Plant-for-the-Planet was held in Monaco, which aims to plant 1,000 billion trees in order to achieve the 2° goal. We were there.
Climate change is heating up the atmosphere and if we fail to reach the 2° target, the earth will no longer be what it used to be for our children. That’s why we’re taking part. You too can help ensure that the earth remains worth living in.
The average CO2 emissions of a German are 12 t/year. To compensate for this, 24 trees are necessary. So: plant trees. When you purchase SlimCOOL products, you can order a free tree voucher from us. The beginning has already been made.
Don’t talk, but act – plant more trees – that’s the motto of the children from Plant-for-the-Planet – join in! Many celebrities like Harrison Ford, Peter Maffay, Gisele Bündchen and Til Schweiger are already there! Us too!
FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN
PLANT TREES WITH US
At plant-for-the-planet there are so-called “tree vouchers” for the trees planted. Since we have already planted 2,000 trees, we want to pass these tree vouchers on to you. Simply order your tree voucher free of charge with every order – we will plant for you. Of course, this is just a start. Of course, we also want to motivate you, your partners, friends or family to become climate neutral and thereby do something for the environment. Every person should plant 24 trees a year to become climate neutral. According to scientists’ calculations, we need to plant a trillion trees to achieve the climate target. That would be 150 trees per person. Plant-for-the-planet has already identified the free planting areas. We are in. Now it’s up to you. Get involved
