Penn decided to conduct an analysis of Environmental Performance in Life Cycle Perspective of Penn Textile Solutions in Padernborn – Germany and Penn Italia in Bregnano – Italy. The analysis is structured by the method of Life Cycle Perspective and divided in 3 main stages: Upstream, Core and Downstream.
The main scope of the analysis is to get a database to monitor environmental management in both Penn’s sites and, based on this, make an improvement plan.
The database is also useful for comparing the data collected in the reporting with main industry standards.
The reporting period is 2021-2023.
Although the two sites are physically separate, within the analysis they were considered as a single productive reality, because they are part of the same process.
Production per year (meters of knitted fabrics):
● 2021: 2.000.636
● 2022: 1.976.019
● 2023: 1.479.987
Through the constant implementation of operating systems supported by artificial intelligence, the company has consolidated and continues to develop an effective system for monitoring business performance, all supported by important process environmental certifications, below:
● Global Recycled Standard
● OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100:
◦ Certificate No. 21.0.86785
◦ Certificate No. 96.0.8008
● Higg Index
● Retex Green
● ZDHC

Below we resume 5 typical environmental indicators that define the environmental footprint of the sites in the reference years.
please note that Penn Italia will be closed on Friday, April 25th, and both Penn Textile Solutions and Penn Italia will be closed on Thursday, May 1st and Friday, May 2nd for public holidays.
Thank you,
Penn Team
