Leo and his fellow artisans work in complete safety. Their company is ISO9001 certified and they have signed our Code of Ethics which guarantees both respect for the environment and for people who are part of the production process.

5. How are workers paid?
Leo and his fellow artisans earn a minimum living wage which means that they earn enough to maintain a satisfactory standard of living.

6. How does Womsh plough back part of the profits to benefit society as a whole?
Womsh ploughs back 1% of its turnover and 5% of its profits into a series of projects and initiatives. We have been contributing to a Lifegate project called ImpattoZero since 2014 through which we protect forests and create new woodland, offsetting the CO2 released into the atmosphere by our business activities. We recycle used Womsh soles to make flooring for playgrounds together with Esosport as part of the “Il giardino di Betty” (“Betty's garden”) project. Last but not least, we work alongside One Tree Planted, a non-governmental organisation which works to safeguard wooded areas, by planting 800 trees each year. And 90% of the energy we use come from renewable sources.
