What is the ABVTEX Certificate?
The ABVTEX Certificate is awarded by the Brazilian Textile Retail Association (ABVTEX – Associação Brasileira do Varejo Têxtil) to companies that comply with the guidelines established by the Supplier Certification Program (PCF).

By choosing products with the ABVTEX seal, consumers can be sure that they are contributing to a more responsible and conscious textile sector, as well as receiving high quality products that are safe to use.
Impact on the Textile Industry:
The ABVTEX Certificate plays a fundamental role in improving working conditions and promoting sustainability in the Brazilian textile industry. By encouraging manufacturers to adopt responsible and ethical practices, the certificate contributes to building a more transparent and ethical supply chain, benefiting both workers and the environment.
In short, the ABVTEX Certificate is an important tool in the Brazilian textile industry, promoting standards of quality, ethics and safety across the entire supply chain. For both manufacturers and consumers, the certificate represents a commitment to excellence and responsibility, helping to build a more sustainable and ethical future for the textile sector.

Prime Energy Green Seal
The Prime Energy Group’s Clean Energy Seal, an exclusive certification for our partners, certifies the contracting of Electric Energy from Renewable Sources (Solar, Wind, PCH, CGH, among others).
The Sustainability Seal is accompanied by a certificate that follows as a reference the guidelines and good environmental practices of the Brazilian Ministry of Development and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency – USA), presenting the calculation carried out by our technical team of the amount of ton/CO2 (tons / carbon dioxide) that your company stopped emitting into the atmosphere, considering the period and amount of energy you contracted.
This way, your company, in addition to saving money with the Free Energy Market and contributing to sustainability guidelines, also has the help of the seal for communication.
If your company is already on the Free Energy Market, contact us for an evaluation. Now, if your company is not yet on the Free Energy Market, don’t waste any more time: send an invoice so we can carry out a feasibility analysis.
The environmental contribution can be very relevant; and the economy, very significant.
The Clean Energy Seal
Prime Energy certifies the amount of GHG (Greenhouse Gases) that will no longer be emitted into the atmosphere when purchasing an incentivized energy contract. You will receive a seal and a certificate showing the calculation of the amount of ton/CO2 (tons / carbon dioxide) that your company stopped emitting into the atmosphere, considering the period and amount of energy you contracted.
Who is it for?
For partners purchasing any amount of energy for more than one year of the contractual term.
How is the calculation done?
Combined with our knowledge and intelligence from more than 10 years in the market and an experienced team of professionals, we developed a methodology using as a reference the booklet of good sustainability practices, approved by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Development, and the Guidance Documents issued by EPA – United States Environmental Protection Agency. We use these references to measure the environmental gain that exchanging the purchase of energy between commercialization environments can provide. The study is carried out from the clean energy acquisition period, which is compared with the global emission rate of the local distributor, which is calculated based on the composition of the sources in its portfolio.
