The current year is filled with new challenges, accomplishments, and goals. As we prepare to become certified with the Global Recycle Standard, we have been inspired to update our company values as well.
For the final result to be as accurate and realistic as possible, this process went through several phases, namely gathering feedback alongside multiple teams at FLM Textil. Equity in the workplace is vital, so we took all the opinions very seriously and acted upon what we had heard.
In line with our recent shifts in how our company is structured, in particular, our Product Development Process, we have equally learned how to listen carefully. Not only to foster a better environment in which everyone feels safe to express ideas and solve problems but also to meet the various and growing needs of our clients. And thus, keep offering prestigious textiles.
With our values being at the heart of everything we do, it seemed only fair to better communicate and share them outside the organization, just like how the best companies for diversity and inclusion do. For us, shared values are essential aspects that triumph over imposing rules.
Below, we unfold the set of principles that every single person follows for the time being, which ultimately manifests into employee well-being and customer satisfaction.
1. Proactivity
When it comes to our clients and partners, we find motivation when they reach their goals. Knowledge sharing and mutual support distinguish us as a persevering and transparent organization dedicated to continuous improvement.
Our services being in such high demand, we strive to differentiate ourselves from other Portuguese clothing manufacturers by collaborating with our clients and partners in the pursuit of product and service excellence.
Teamwork is a shared responsibility in which recognition holds a significant place leading to dedication. Internal teams at FLM Textil are focused and committed, so we can better advise and lead clients’ collections to the highest level of quality.
2. Competence
We are certain that a good company culture, in which we invest our time and energy, improves our textile manufacturer services, promoting positive client outcomes.
By acting with a sense of purpose, we care about providing the necessary tools to meet quality standards with precision. We are diligent and rigorous textile manufacturers seeking to develop more sustainable processes through ongoing knowledge.
3. Innovation
We use critical thinking in a creative way to find functional solutions with added transparency and take into consideration the three fundamental pillars of sustainability (Economic, Social, and Environmental).
The Economic Sustainability pillar ensures that economic systems are in place, such as job creation, fair compensation, labor rights, and economic circularity. Economic development is the base ground that allows us to innovate and solve problems with creativity.
Social Sustainability is about universal human rights. This pillar includes happiness, equity in labor, and education. It ensures everyone's basic necessities are met, and personal rights are respected.
The Environmental Sustainability pillar spotlights our overall effect on the environment. A growing number of brands and even manufacturing industries in our country are focusing more and more on reducing their carbon footprint, packaging waste, water usage, and so on.
Indeed, we manage responsibly, ensuring not only the growth of the business but also the people we work with through a tight, organized management system. Our textile management system helps us monitor all processes within the company, such as order receiving, sampling, purchase of raw materials, production, shipment, and billing.
Along the way of our 20 years plus years of expertise and craftsmanship made in Portugal, we have reached a point where it would only make sense to follow a people-first culture. That has led us to understand very clearly that employee engagement increases productivity, not merely in the textile industry but anywhere.
Healthy workplace culture is a structure that each member perceives and contributes to it collectively. In our people-focused approach, making all people involved feel connected and valued is one of our priorities - if we want to keep ensuring a quality experience for our clients, whether they are searching for a sportswear manufacturer or swimwear manufacturer.
Values are an evolving understructure, but for now, we are calling these ours. If you are interested in joining our values-driven organizational culture, check our open positions and apply today or leave us a spontaneous application.
