Season’s Greetings from Adiantes

<p>At <a data-mce-href="https://linkedin.com/company/adiantes" href="https://linkedin.com/company/adiantes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adiantes</a>, sustainability is more than a corporate value; it is a cornerstone of our operational philosophy. With over two decades of manufacturing excellence, we are now embarking on a long-term initiative to develop our expertise in using upcycled materials. This effort aligns with our commitment to the circular economy and reinforces our role as a forward-thinking production partner that prioritizes environmental stewardship.</p><h2>Why Upcycling Matters</h2><p>The global demand for sustainable practices is reshaping industries, and leather goods manufacturing is no exception. Upcycling offers an innovative approach to material reuse, extending the lifecycle of resources that would otherwise contribute to environmental waste. This is crucial for reducing our carbon footprint and conserving valuable resources. By incorporating upcycled materials, we provide our clients with expanded options, ranging from certified leather to cutting-edge alternatives, ensuring diverse styles and sustainable material selections.</p><h3>Certified Leather and Sustainable Alternatives</h3><p>While we proudly collaborate with certified suppliers—such as <a data-mce-href="https://www.perlinger-leder.de/en/" href="https://www.perlinger-leder.de/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ludwig Perlinger GmbH</a>, audited by the <a data-mce-href="https://www.leatherworkinggroup.com/" href="https://www.leatherworkinggroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leather Working Group</a>—we recognize the need to go beyond traditional materials. Our research into sustainable alternatives includes developing upcycled leather goods, integrating recycled plastics into components, and testing innovative materials like pineapple and banana leather. These efforts underscore our dedication to merging craftsmanship with sustainability, providing clients with versatile solutions that meet evolving market demands.</p><h3>Exploring Upcycled Kimono Fabric</h3><p>One particularly exciting avenue of exploration is the use of upcycled vintage kimono fabrics. Japan’s kimono market, historically revered for its artistry, is undergoing a transformation as lifestyles shift. Shockingly, over 500 tons of kimonos are discarded annually, with their intricate designs and cultural significance often lost. At Adiantes, we view this as an opportunity to repurpose these unique fabrics into contemporary products.</p><figure id="figure-k67hk7t82mm499tvfk"><img id="k67hk7t82mm499tvfk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0kMgBYoLJmMEAC4oQqCmI68ERR1rGuN4aItK5R2IFNTwGigoIF734nBfpmat8uE3.jpg" alt="Vintage kimono fabric being upcycled into new products" title="Vintage kimono fabric being upcycled into new products" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0kMgBYoLJmMEAC4oQqCmI68ERR1rGuN4aItK5R2IFNTwGigoIF734nBfpmat8uE3.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p>For 2025, we are evaluating initiatives that incorporate vintage kimono patterns into watch boxes, watch straps, wallets, passport holders, and other small lifestyle accessories. By blending the rich heritage of kimono fabrics with modern aesthetics, we aim to create “piece-unique” designs that resonate with environmentally conscious consumers. This initiative not only preserves the artistry of kimonos but also gives them new life in the form of functional, stylish accessories.</p><figure id="figure-60x53nuvam499vg9b"><img id="60x53nuvam499vg9b" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/266tuPHkjTLwuTLl4LgfVYWtU5OfAy7BAYsyPfUKhlFBAqPgd551BfnIqkufbocr.jpg" alt="Watch box made with vintage kimono fabric" title="Watch box made with vintage kimono fabric" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/266tuPHkjTLwuTLl4LgfVYWtU5OfAy7BAYsyPfUKhlFBAqPgd551BfnIqkufbocr.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>The Broader Impact of Upcycling</h3><p>Developing the know-how for upcycling is critical for setting industry benchmarks in sustainable production. It allows us to:</p><ul><li><em>Reduce Waste: By utilizing discarded materials like vintage kimonos, we actively minimize landfill contributions.</em><br><br></li><li><em>Promote Innovation: Exploring new technologies and processes fosters creativity and expands material possibilities.</em><br><br></li><li><em>Enhance Client Offerings: Providing sustainable and stylish alternatives strengthens our clients’ product portfolios and aligns with consumer demand for ethical practices.</em><br></li></ul><h3>Looking Ahead</h3><p>As we refine our capabilities in upcycled materials, Adiantes is committed to continuous collaboration with stakeholders and customers. Our long-term goals include scaling these innovations and integrating them into mainstream production. With every project, we aim to champion sustainable practices while preserving the integrity and elegance of our craft.</p><figure id="figure-6sa6tc5fhkm499wdr3"><img id="6sa6tc5fhkm499wdr3" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2Iyh860GsqwxasBhbD1EmoNlopYzY57FBJox8TgofBgiwKnoVuTYKuQQKaDiGNoh.jpg" alt="Watch box development with upcycled kimono fabric" title="Watch box development with upcycled kimono fabric" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/2Iyh860GsqwxasBhbD1EmoNlopYzY57FBJox8TgofBgiwKnoVuTYKuQQKaDiGNoh.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><p>By weaving sustainability into every facet of our operations, Adiantes is not just meeting the demands of today’s market but setting the stage for a more sustainable and equitable future.

Adiantes: Sustainable & High‑Quality Leather Goods

<p>We are proud to announce that <a data-mce-href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/adiantes/" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/adiantes/">Adiantes</a> has been chosen as a case study for the <a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/library/6240" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/library/6240"><strong>Moving Business Forward Faster: 2024 Trends &amp; Insights Report</strong></a>, specifically focusing on "Living Wage" practices. As part of this initiative, Adiantes is being recognized for our commitment to ensuring that all employees earn a wage that provides them with a decent standard of living. The initiative aims to reduce inequalities and build resilient supply chains by promoting ethical business practices globally.</p><h2>Why Adiantes Set a Public Target for Living Wage</h2><p><a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/65781-Adiantes-Co-Ltd-" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/65781-Adiantes-Co-Ltd-">Adiantes</a> took the bold step to publicly commit to ensuring a living wage across our workforce as part of our dedication to social responsibility and ethical manufacturing. We saw an opportunity to be a leader in Thailand’s leather goods industry, where wage disparity remains a significant issue. By setting a living wage target, we aim not only to improve the financial security of our employees but also to create long-lasting employment relationships that benefit both the workers and the company.</p><p>In the manufacturing industry, retaining skilled and experienced workers is essential. Paying a living wage enhances employee loyalty, which leads to better craftsmanship, productivity, and overall business performance. For us, this is not just about meeting a standard; it’s about creating a sustainable future for our workforce.</p><figure id="figure-3t2vw1r18bm1fs6s6k"><img id="3t2vw1r18bm1fs6s6k" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/6nBA1PpxIQo8TWlKxdL8bawBH41njO1AYDd563rJZfuRj5Vya8sHPe2L3jcqoJs4.jpg" alt="Worker in Adiantes Factory doing quality control checks" title="Worker in Adiantes Factory doing quality control checks" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/6nBA1PpxIQo8TWlKxdL8bawBH41njO1AYDd563rJZfuRj5Vya8sHPe2L3jcqoJs4.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>The Importance of Living Wage in Thailand’s Manufacturing Industry</h3><p>In Thailand, the rising cost of living and persistent income inequality are challenges faced by many workers, especially in the manufacturing sector. While the government-mandated minimum wage sets a baseline, it is often insufficient to cover the true cost of living. This is why Adiantes views paying a living wage as a strategic investment—not just in our employees but in the long-term success of our business.</p><p>By offering wages that exceed the national minimum, we attract and retain skilled workers, which is crucial in the leather goods industry, where experience directly impacts product quality. Ensuring job security and fair compensation helps our employees feel valued, resulting in greater consistency in our production processes.</p><h3>Stakeholder Consultation and Collaboration</h3><p>Before making our Forward Faster Living Wage commitment, we consulted extensively with both internal and external stakeholders. Internally, we worked with teams across human resources, finance, and operations to ensure our approach was comprehensive and aligned with our long-term goals. Externally, we engaged with governmental bodies and labor experts to better understand the implications of adopting a living wage standard in Thailand. This collaboration allowed us to create a well-rounded, impactful strategy that benefits both our workforce and our business operations.</p><figure id="figure-9fph3ttoijm1fs7i69"><img id="9fph3ttoijm1fs7i69" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/6Sp1nwZM9djxd9LIvcSXbJNle5r2GZWR2dKezbSXCcdwqxb4Oj8nPQoDvjXLSR4e.jpg" alt="Black leather clutch bag produced at Adiantes Factory" title="Black leather clutch bag produced at Adiantes Factory" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/6Sp1nwZM9djxd9LIvcSXbJNle5r2GZWR2dKezbSXCcdwqxb4Oj8nPQoDvjXLSR4e.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h3>Leveraging External Resources</h3><p>While Adiantes has yet to fully utilize <a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/">UNGC’s</a> resources in developing our living wage plan, we have drawn on insights from industry experts and labor consultants. By benchmarking against industry wage standards and reviewing salary trends, we have ensured that our compensation levels not only meet but exceed national requirements.</p><p>Looking ahead to 2025, we plan to engage more deeply with UNGC resources to further refine our living wage strategy and strengthen our commitment to fair pay practices.</p><h3>Progress Toward the Living Wage Target</h3><p>We are proud of the progress we have already made in achieving our living wage goals. Today, Adiantes offers wages that exceed Thailand’s minimum wage standards, ensuring our employees can live comfortably. This commitment to fair wages has also contributed to our strong employee retention rates—59% of our workforce has been with us for over 10 years, a testament to our supportive employment environment.</p><p>Furthermore, 44% of our staff are part of an aging demographic, which emphasizes the importance of providing financial security through fair wages. Our living wage strategy focuses on three key areas: ensuring all employees earn a wage that supports a decent living standard, promoting long-term employment, and safeguarding the welfare of our aging workforce.</p><figure id="figure-vmzdgk1wonm1fs8g0e"><img id="vmzdgk1wonm1fs8g0e" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0oOXHw23JOoRHNWyupl8WhqO1qSxoXUaHHttphvNcXypC6pllzlk1CqTdlJbgfW9.jpg" alt="eather hat clips made in Adiantes Factory" title="eather hat clips made in Adiantes Factory" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0oOXHw23JOoRHNWyupl8WhqO1qSxoXUaHHttphvNcXypC6pllzlk1CqTdlJbgfW9.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Looking Toward the Future</h3><p>At Adiantes, our commitment to providing a living wage is about more than just meeting an industry standard; it’s about creating a sustainable and fair workplace for all. We believe that ethical labor practices lead to stronger, more resilient supply chains, and we are honored to be recognized by the UN Global Compact’s Forward Faster initiative for our efforts.</p><p>As we continue to build on our living wage commitment, we look forward to sharing our progress and contributing to a global movement that promotes fairness and equality across industries.</p><p>Read the full report <a data-mce-href="https://unglobalcompact.org/library/6240" href="https://unglobalcompact.org/library/6240"><strong>here</strong></a></p>
