Azul, the largest airline in terms of daily flights and cities served in Brazil, has announced a new partnership with Sloul, a Brazilian footwear company recognized for its commitment to sustainability and innovation. Starting today, all Azul airport agents at all airports where the company operates will wear the innovative and sustainable footwear provided by Sloul.
The company's Crew Members will be able to choose between two shoe models: one with laces and one without. These sneakers are made with ecological and recycled materials, such as PET yarn from recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton, in addition to being 100% vegan. Sloul uses biolatex for the insoles, which are biodegradable and offer exceptional comfort, and natural rubber for the soles, contributing to the reduction of the use of petroleum-derived materials.
"We are delighted to partner with Sloul to provide our Crewmembers with footwear that is not only beautiful and comfortable, but also sustainable. This initiative reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility and the continuous improvement of our Crewmembers' experience. We believe that these shoes will bring more comfort and beauty to the uniforms, in addition to contributing to the preservation of the environment," said Laurita Augusto, Azul's Airports Director.
"We are delighted to join forces with Azul, a company that, like us, is committed to sustainability and innovation. Our footwear is made from recycled materials with low environmental impact, without compromising comfort, style and durability. We believe that this partnership will not only benefit Azul Crew Members, but will also contribute to raising awareness about the importance of sustainable choices in everyday life," says Júlia Chimelo, co-founder of Sloul.
In addition to the sneakers that will be part of the Azul agents' uniform, Crew Members from all areas of the company will enjoy a 60% discount on 10 selected Sloul shoes, completing the benefits of the partnership.
