Environment sustainability
Our strategy

We have chosen to strengthen our commitment to the environment by acting on multiple fronts, to:

1

Create low environmental impact products.

2

Reduce corporate energy consumption.

3

Measure and reduce the organization’s climate footprint.

4

Calculate the carbon footprint of products on request.

Our commercial proposal can provide self-declared environmental assertions that we have developed in accordance with ISO 14021, ensuring properties such as disassemblability, recyclability, and recycled content.

Energy management interventions, such as energy audits, allow us to monitor and optimize our organization’s energy consumption and performance over time, while also combating climate change.

We have developed a tool to quantify the climate footprint of our products, to understand the CO2 footprint of a specific artifact based on design variants and the different technical solutions adopted.

Since 2019, we have been measuring and reporting the carbon footprint of our organization through the CFO – Carbon Footprint of Organization study. Our plan for reducing GHG emissions includes transparent and precise objectives.

-13% Emission reduction by 2024
-21% Emission reduction by 2026
Social e Governance
Our choices

We have always viewed the company as playing a social role that every business entity should fulfill, in our opinion. We intend to continue acting for the well-being of society and the people we engage with every day, strengthening the organizational structure and involving all our stakeholders (both internal and external) in the sustainability journey we have undertaken.

We have adapted our management system according to procedures related to SA8000 for social responsibility. We have worked to safeguard health by reducing our noise impact through sound barriers. We have developed programs dedicated to the prevention and countering of corruption according to standard 37001.
