It wants to develop its activities with maximum respect for the environment and for natural resources, continuously improving environmental practices and using the cleanest techniques that allow it to maintain economic competitiveness. That is why the following commitment is assumed at all levels of the business:

• Planning the DESIGN OF NEW PRODUCTS, processes and services to optimise environmental performance and eco-efficiency.

• Planning ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT in possible accident or emergency situations, focusing largely on the risk of fire and the risk of transport of hazardous substances.

• Maintaining and, if necessary, improving PARTICIPATION and TRAINING among all staff in order to achieve objectives developing good environmental practices which, together with the right technologies, lead to technical improvements. Training, motivating and skilling our workers.

• Providing the RIGHT INDICATIONS to customers on environmental and safety aspects relating to the handling, use and post-consumption management of products made or distributed by the company.
