Riopele

We look back on a remarkable day in our sustainable journey! Recently, in partnership with EDP Portugal, we inaugurated our new photovoltaic park, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and the energy transition. The environmental impact of this project is immense — equivalent to planting more than 53,000 trees, a significant contribution to our planet. With around 8,000 photovoltaic panels installed across a 22,000m² rooftop area, this facility stands as one of the largest rooftop photovoltaic parks in Portugal. Furthermore, Riopele is now the first EDP customer to install solar panels on the building's façade — an innovative step that reflects our focus on sustainable solutions. We continue working towards a more sustainable future, and we thank everyone who joined us for another milestone in our history. #riopelefabrics #fashionfabrics #textile #textiles #sustainable #sustainablefashion #responsiblefashion #madeineurope #fashionindustry #sustanaibility #textiledesign #fabrics #edp #edpwechooseearth #energytransition

"What if the key to thriving at work was something as simple as breathing?" Last week, (in collaboration with Clínica Medicina Integrativa Dr. Nuno Pacheco) I had the privilege of leading a Corporate Wellness Workshop at Riopele, one of Portugal’s oldest and most innovative textile companies. What stood out to me wasn’t just their commitment to sustainability or cutting-edge tech, but their genuine investment in employee well-being—especially in an era dominated by hustle culture. Now more than ever, 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆. It's a strategic advantage! Through the 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, we equipped Riopele’s team with practical tools to reduce stress and boost focus—tools that they could apply both at work and in their personal lives. I shared •⁠ ⁠Scientifically-backed techniques •⁠ ⁠5-minute exercises •⁠ ⁠How to practice without any equipment •⁠ ⁠How you don't even need to leave your desk And the impact was immediate: 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 —all without leaving the desk or requiring special equipment. Elsa Ribeiro, an Industrial Logistics Leader, shared: "𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴... 𝘐 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

This is why companies like Riopele are thriving—because they understand that investing in their people is key to long-term success. They join the ranks of forward-thinking giants like Google, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Nike, all investing in similar programs as a competitive advantage.

Let’s talk about how we can bring these same results to you and your team
