We are proud to announce that Riopele has been recognized with the prestigious Merit Award for Freedom and Democracy by AEMinho – Associação Empresarial do Minho. This award is a testament to the enduring values that have guided us for nearly a century: a steadfast commitment to integrity, resilience, and the pursuit of a brighter future for all.
Receiving this honor at the 2024 Solidarity Gala, a celebration of unity and positive impact, was an inspiring moment for everyone in the Riopele family. The event highlighted the importance of community, collaboration, and the shared responsibility we hold in creating a more equitable society.
At Riopele, people have always been our most cherished pillar. This award is a recognition of the hard work, dedication, and passion of everyone who has contributed to our journey—our employees, partners, and community members.

As we approach 100 years of history, this award underscores our belief in the power of freedom and democracy as foundational principles that foster creativity, collaboration, and growth. These values are embedded in the way we operate and are reflected in our commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and social responsibility.
This recognition strengthens our resolve to continue building a company that not only excels in the textile sector but also serves as a force for good in the broader community. We are inspired to keep making a positive impact, creating opportunities, and contributing to a world where freedom and democracy remain guiding lights.
This award is dedicated to everyone who has been part of our journey. Together, we celebrate this achievement and look forward to a future filled with purpose, innovation, and shared success.
