The EcoVadis certification rewards companies that integrate sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles into their processes and management models in an advanced way. Based on recognised international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000, the methodology assesses 21 indicators divided into four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Founded in 2013 by a team of professionals with extensive experience in the footwear industry, JV International has made research, innovation and sustainability the cornerstones of its development model. A strategic partner of Michelin for the design, manufacture and marketing of MICHELIN soles, the company stands out for its cross-disciplinary and highly specialised approach.
Its activities are divided into three business units: JVI-soles by MICHELIN, NexX4™ and JVI-Engineering, each focused on high value-added technical and design solutions in different market segments.
For JV International, sustainability is not an afterthought, but a true operating culture that guides every stage of the supply chain: from the choice of materials to design, from production to after-sales support. This daily commitment translates into concrete and measurable actions.
“At JV International, we work to ensure innovation and sustainability in the footwear industry. Compliance with ESG criteria is not simply a requirement for us, but a strategic choice that guides every business decision,” says Ambrogio Merlo, CEO of JV International.
The new General Manager Luca Piani adds: “It is a source of great pride to join a team that is among the elite 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis. This prestigious recognition encourages us to continue with even greater determination on this path.”
