We are committed to minimising
our environmental impact
Environment
Our everyday commitment to the environment
Our commitment to meeting production needs while preserving natural resources is what drives our decisions. We implement a circular approach in production processes to help face climate change.
The way we manage the energy used in our production processes and the consequent carbon dioxide emissions are among the so-called ‘material’ environmental issues, on which we need to act with greater commitment.
Our business also has an impact on the waste production, especially during the processing and packaging of products, and on the raw materials we use.
We are committed to developing products that respect natural resources. This is why we carefully select raw materials and packaging that is as recycled and recyclable as possible.
Through our efforts, we give a tangible contribution to the following SDGs
CLIMATE CHANGE
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions-generated by human activity-are the main cause of global warming, an aspect of climate change that is completely anomalous to Earth's natural climate cycles.
Our results:
The energy we use in our production processes is certified as 100 % renewable (100% Green Energy certification): this has enabled us to cut produced emissions by 81%;
82% of our suppliers are based in Italy: we thus protect the quality of Made in Italy and minimise the transport of raw materials and supplies
Replaced fleet of company cars with plug-in hybrid vehicles and installed charging stations at our headquarters to encourage the use of electric and hybrid vehicles by our employees.
Installation of a 300kWp photovoltaic system.
we have decided to officially state our commitment to implementing environment-friendly policies through the analysis of the emissions caused by our company’s activities, which has yielded a Carbon Footprint Report, certified under UNI EN ISO 14064-1:2019.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION MONITORING
Reducing consumption and improving energy efficiency are goals we set and focus on daily, knowing how important they are, both at environmental and economical level.
Our results:
72% of waste produced in 2023 was sent for recovery;
We monitor the use of materials in the production process annually through the Autodichiarazione Unica Ambientale (AUA) (Single Environmental Self-Declaration);
To help reduce waste, we have established an internal policy that bans plastic bottles, cups, and spoons. In this way we saved 180 kg of virgin plastic;
The entire process of order collection and fulfillment is computerised, as to avoid using and wasting paper;
We discontinued the use of plastic packaging in shipping cartons, replacing it with paper. We discontinued the use of plastic tape, replacing it with recycled paper tape;
We use FSC-certified paper and cardboard for product cases;
Since 2022, we have been using bottles with 50% recycled plastic for the Marseille Soap line, saving 1,640Kg of virgin plastic;
We discontinued cellophane from the cases that required it and replaced plastic thermoforming with pure cellulose pulp thermoforming.
Heat recovery pump system for air conditioning by means of a high efficiency air handling unit (AHU), which allows energy recycling for production process heating;
Replacing lamps with LED technology;
Adding new machinery that uses Inverter technology.
Rainwater harvesting for irrigation or non-HACCP washing. We are conducting a study to create a system that can extract groundwater from beneath our plant.
Redesigning our packaging to reduce our environmental impact.
