While we already operate through a short supply chain entirely in Italy (except Piñatex®), we acknowledge the critical importance of understanding our carbon footprint and setting reduction targets for carbon emissions. In response, we developed a Climate Action Policy outlining steps for measuring and reducing emissions across our value chain. This policy follows a plan-act-check-and-correct approach, covering Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 emissions. The initial focus is on key products, ensuring targeted efforts in reducing the most impactful areas.

We developed a comprehensive Employee Handbook, along with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I), and a Human Rights policy. These policies establish clear guidelines while providing employees with valuable insights into the company’s core values and our distinctive ESG approach. This ensures that, as our business grows, it fosters an environment where all employees feel respected, valued, and empowered, setting a strong example in corporate responsibility.

We identified the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) most relevant to our core activities towards sustainable growth in line with the 2030 Agenda. To support Goal 12, Ensure Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns, we are looking to offer repair and rental services, eliminate entirely plastics (now already strictly limited) from packaging, and introduce at least five new materials with increased sustainability characteristics, such as recyclability.

We additionally established clear sourcing KPIs to enhance our sustainable sourcing strategy when acquiring new suppliers and developed a comprehensive Supplier Code of Conduct. By setting measurable standards, we align our sourcing decisions with our sustainability goals, promoting transparency and accountability within our supply chain.
