BIO

Paolo Foglia

In 2022, after having gained decades of professional experience in the environmental and social certification sector, I founded the ORIENTA consultancy company to support companies in the definition and implementation of their environmental sustainability and social responsibility objectives and programs.

From the mid-nineties until 2022, first in the Italian Association of Organic Agriculture (AIAB) and then in the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA), I dealt with the certification of products and companies, covering the role, starting from 2004, of Non Food Certification Manager with the responsibility of managing all activities in various sectors including: textile, clothing and footwear; cosmetic; green building materials; responsible tourism; biofuels.

In the textile sector I directed certification activities with reference to some of the most relevant standards such as:
– organic textile products, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Organic Content Standard (OCS)
– recycled products, the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)
– items padded with down and feathers, the Responsible Down Standard (RDS)
– textile products made from animal fibres, Responsible Animal Fibers (RAF) which includes RWS, RMS and RAS.

In the natural and organic cosmetics sector, I coordinated the certification activities regarding the COSMOS standard and ECO BIO Cosmetics.

In green building, I have coordinated certification activities since the early years in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Bioecological Architecture (ANAB) and the International Natureplus Institute.

For many years I also had the privilege of being appointed board member of some of the most interesting international organizations promoting sustainability such as:
– Textile Exchange, the leading global non-profit organization developing standards for the certification of responsible textile products.
– COSMOS-standard AISBL Standard, the international regulatory body that owns the COSMOS Standard, the most relevant standard for the certification of Natural and Organic Cosmetics.
– Natureplus e.V, Germania. Since 2001 Natureplus has been the leading organization in Europe in defining standards for the certification of green building materials.
