Our Commitments
Sustainability
"Preserving nature is everyone's responsibility" and at Golfinho we are fully aware of this. Being sustainable is not just about recycling or saving water. Being sustainable means being forward-thinking, making decisions with environmental, social and governance issues in mind.
We've had these concerns for a number of years now, and we're increasingly taking them into account in our day-to-day business.
The installation of a WWTP to treat all the water we use was one of the first measures implemented in this direction.
In 2018 we installed our first 200 solar panels. Then, with the increase in installations, in 2022 we doubled the number of these devices, which allow us to have electrical autonomy for part of the year.
In 2020, we started packaging our caps in cardboard, continuing a trend of reducing the amount of plastic used.
The acquisition of a fleet of electric cars for the company's administration was another step in this direction.
Certain of our responsibility, we will continue to make strides towards greater sustainability at all levels.
Quality
We have been quality certified since 2011, when we implemented our quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001, accredited by TÜV Rheinland, a German international certification body. We are currently preparing for ISO 14001 certification, which sets the standards for an environmental management system.
The safety of our customers is also a priority for us. This is why we have CE marking on a wide range of products. This certification is mandatory for various items, such as swimming aids. By complying with this legislation, we are able to market this type of product, which gives us a competitive advantage over our competitors.
Our quality manager monitors production on a daily basis, ensuring that all criteria are met at every stage of the production process.
In this way, it is clear that we are committed to offering products that meet the most demanding quality and safety control rules.
Innovation
In markets like ours, it is essential to constantly innovate. Sport is an extremely volatile area, so keeping up with changes requires daily attention.
Our innovation and development department ensures that our products are the most innovative and best meet the needs of our various customers.
Many of our products are completely unique, making Golfinho Sports a singular brand in the market. This differentiation from our competitors allows us to stand out in the various areas in which we operate.
One great advantage we have is the ability to offer fully customized products, according to our customers' needs and wishes. With our own high production capacity, we are able to offer a range that is unrivaled in Portugal and even in Europe.
People
Golfinho currently has a team of more than 45 people.
From our longest-serving employee, who has been with us for 27 years, to our most recent employee, we are all committed to offering the best service and the best products to our customers.
Our team is specialized. Each employee has continuous training to perform their job to the best of their ability.
The company's management strives to be close to each employee, listening to their needs and concerns. Providing the best working conditions is another of the company's main concerns.
Through teambuildings and annual events, team spirit and unity are fostered among all those who are part of the "Golfinho" family.
