statement
carbon neutral
projects
The constantly changing and evolving macroeconomic scenario and a new perception of luxury, which can no longer be considered independently of ethics and respect for the environment, have pushed us to accelerate the corporate sustainability drive we adopted some time ago.
A commitment that can be seen in our respect for the environment, the protection we afford our employees and the special focus we place on health and safety in all our activities. We have set ourselves an important goal, which has become our absolute priority: that of becoming
Carbon Neutral
, reducing and entirely compensating for our CO2 emissions from the cradle (raw materials used) to the gate (delivery of the material to our customers).This is a strategic choice and not a legal obligation.
We are fully aware that we are among the first to undertake, with great determination, such a highly
demanding commitment, one that in a short time has enabled us to achieve an extremely ambitious goal.
Our first goal was to use only energy deriving from renewable sources, reducing our emissions by 49% in just one year. Subsequently, all CO2 emissions generated by the material production process were compensated for with projects connected with alternative, hydroelectric and wind power energies, in India, Honduras and New Zealand.
The seriousness of our commitment is certified by
TÜV SÜD
Italia, the international body tasked with monitoring our every step. Completely setting to zero our carbon dioxide emissions will enable us to increase the added value of Alcantara® and to satisfy the growing requests of corporate customers and partners in terms of ethical and environmental respect”.Andrea Boragno
