Values
Every single project developed at Lottozero shares the organizations core values: quality, collective vision, inclusion, sharing, openness, economic and environmental sustainability and a non-profit mentality.
The word sustainability has become ever present in our lives and is often used as buzzword to attract the highly contended attention of consumers. Lottozero sees sustainability as the opposite of a trend. In fact we see it as a long-term mentality that should pervade all aspects of a company’s life, resulting in a radical (re)evaluation of its objectives and values and inducing structural changes.
Our organization is deeply engaged in the issue of sustainability within the textile and apparel industry and we believe in the value of quality as the most sustainable approach.
Lottozero’s projects are 100% in line and interconnected with its values.
They build upon the know-how, capacity and heritage of the historical textile district, using it as base for research and a diffused laboratory and they work with their network and community to create information, new partnerships, working relationships, synergies and cross pollination between stakeholders.
