JOMO is recertified in Sustainable Origin
JOMO is pleased to announce, in this way, the achievement of Gold level recertification in the Sustainable Origin program. With this recognition, the company reinforces its ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices.
Furthermore, the certification confirms JOMO’s actions aligned with ESG principles, increasingly relevant to the footwear sector.
Certification delivery during Fimec 2024
The delivery of recertification took place on March 18, in this context, during Fimec, in Novo Hamburgo (RS). On the occasion, JOMO leaders participated in the event along with representatives from the Brazilian Association of Component Companies for Leather, Footwear and Artifacts (Assintecal).
In this way, the moment marked public recognition of the work carried out by the company.
JOMO’s operations in Brazil and in the footwear sector
Founded in Germany in 1947, JOMO has been operating in Brazil for over 30 years. Over this period, the company consolidated its presence by offering thermomolded and sewn products that combine quality, innovation and sustainability.
Currently, in addition, the product line for the footwear sector includes:
- Insoles
- Uppers
- Technical parts
- Packaging
Thus, JOMO meets the technical and environmental demands of the industry in an integrated way.
Environmental commitment and sustainability actions
JOMO operates as a zero waste factory and, therefore, recycles 100% of the industrial waste generated in its processes.
Furthermore, the company develops several environmental actions, such as:
- Cap and seal collection campaigns
- Environmentally correct disposal of electronics
- Proper disposal of cooking oil
With this, JOMO reinforces its commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
ESG Project: EcoFoam Insole and circular economy
In 2024, in addition, JOMO further advanced its ESG strategy with the co-creation of the EcoFoam Insole.
As a result, the company transformed materials that would otherwise be discarded into new insoles. In this way, the partnership strengthens JOMO’s operations in the circular economy, innovation and sustainability.
About the Sustainable Origin certification
The Sustainable Origin certification, created in 2013 by Assintecal in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries (Abicalçados), is the only one in the world dedicated exclusively to ESG practices in the footwear sector.
To achieve this, therefore, the certification evaluates 104 indicators, distributed across five dimensions:
- Economic
- Environmental
- Social
- Cultural
- Sustainability management
Currently, the certification categories are:
- Diamond: above 80% of indicators
- Gold: above 60%
- Silver: above 40%
- Bronze: above 20%
Furthermore, consequently, independent audits, such as SENAI, SGS, ABNT, Intertek and Bureau Veritas, carry out the assessments.
