Planet, People, Prosperity
Sustainability Report
We conduct thorough analyses of our environmental and social impacts, aware of the fact that good intentions alone are not enough: it is necessary to measure our performance according to standards aligned with the theme, understand areas for improvement, and identify the levers to act upon in order to trigger a continuous process of concrete co-evolution, in perfect interdependence with the Country System.
Our Sustainability Report is the document that transparently and accountably summarizes our journey towards managing the Group in line with the ethical objectives we set.
-->To best showcase our performance, we have created a dedicated section for all the sustainable "doing" of the Rotolito Group, starting with the first non-financial Sustainability report. This is a first step on our path toward B Corp certification.
Goals, commitments, projects
With the help of NATIVA, we undertook an in-depth analysis and measurement of sustainability, in line with the criteria of the B Impact Assessment.
With respect to the goals of the Paris 2030 Agenda, we have identified 7 points to adhere to and contribute with concrete actions to safeguard People, Planet and Prosperity.
Our contribution to saving drinking water in the production stages is a significant example of our anti-waste mindset towards water resources. One example is the drawing of groundwater to exploit its constant temperature of 14° used in the cooling systems for production stages. The water drawn is then returned to source without changing its properties. But we are committed to an ongoing reduction of our water footprint.
Our main goal, as it has always been, is energy efficiency. A significant example are the two photovoltaic plants that generate 1.35 MWh of energy annually, to which is added a high-efficiency CHP (Combined Heat Power) cogeneration system. The renewable electricity acquired from the mains is certified by guarantees of origin. But new investments and new projects are always under examination.
Rotolito has always invested in progress, work and the quality of people’s lives. The values of a united and supportive family guide our actions, leading us to help realise the potential of our resources, to value inclusion and diversity, and to implement welfare and well-being projects at all levels.
For the last fifty years or so, Rotolito has invested in research and innovation in accordance with a business philosophy that generates quality, progress and prosperity. We have become a benchmark in our industry: we are now committed to becoming a reference point for sustainable printers.
We are committed to adopting improved anti-waste solutions and efficiency at all levels, both where consumer materials and our production are concerned. Our Sustainability Plan includes a commitment to act as a promoter of good practices to all our stakeholders.
Climate change is a consequence of the real problem, i.e. the global warming that has occurred as a result of disproportionate greenhouse gas emissions. We are committed to acting on all fronts to cut our emissions and to involve our customers, suppliers and partners in taking an active part in our projects to raise awareness.
Climate change is a point of no return especially because humanity has razed to the ground the only real antagonist of global warming: forests. And this is why we have long been committed to protecting natural forests by mainly using certified paper from responsibly managed forests and, in the future, to being a promoter of projects in defence of green spaces.
