SUSTAINABILITY: AREAS FOR ACTION

For the Gimoka Group, sustainability is a path of continuous growth and evolution, unfurling in a number of directions, combining a reduction in the environmental impact of all our actions and Design for Recycling, focusing on circular economy for the packaging.

This approach to sustainability within the Group is supported by a dedicated team that collaborates in a highly-integrated manner with company management, to incorporate the focus on sustainability in all company activities.

Continuous improvement comes from the reduction of direct environmental impact, thanks to:

– Interventions related to energy efficiency;

– A minimisation of water consumption;

– The use of the best available technologies dedicated to the reduction of pollutants in the atmosphere;

– The definition of a decarbonisation strategy;

– The implementation of an Environmental Management System certified in accordance with ISO 14001.

The Group’s approach to sustainability views waste as a resource to be managed with a view to the circular economy, with the aim of maximising the enhancement of scrap and minimising waste.

Precisely in this perspective, the other area of action on which our commitment to sustainability focuses is Design for Recycling, being the maximisation of the recyclability of primary and secondary packaging through the use of mono-material, the reduction of materials (thicknesses, etc.), the creation of compostable packaging solutions deriving from renewable sources and minimisation the logistical impact of the packaging.

Our way of interpreting sustainability issues starts from paying attention to the environment around us, by listening to all Gimoka Group stakeholders, including packaging system and material suppliers, local communities, our colleagues and contractors and, of course, our customers and consumers. Taking into consideration the specific needs of all these parties, we are able to define the priorities of our sustainability strategies in a shared way.

Our employees have always been the heart of our company. To this end, we guarantee fair, safe and stimulating working conditions. We are committed to the growth of a culture of safety, with continuous training at all levels, the involvement of workers and the adoption of a Health and Safety Management System aligned with ISO 45001.

We operate with the utmost integrity and transparency. Our corporate governance is based on solid ethical principles, ensuring compliance with regulations and responsible behaviour in every business decision, including the adoption of an Organisational Model 231.
