For Sofidel, sustainability is a fundamental element of the process of creating value.
Indeed, only through a socially and environmentally sustainable development strategy one can think of long-term development that can generate long-lasting benefits for all stakeholders and for the environment.
An underlying trend that Sofidel turned into something tangible by applying the philosophy “Less is More”.
Sustainability
FOR SOFIDEL SUSTAINABILITY IS A VALUE THAT CREATES VALUE
LESS IS MORE: THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE OF ALL ACTIVITIES AT SOFIDEL
Less is More means seeking while planning activities, just like designing and carrying out projects for improvement, the most innovative, creative and original solutions to give “more” in terms of values, products and services, “with less”, in terms of, for instance, energy or water consumption, production of climate-altering gases, price/costs and any kind of negative impact.
SOFIDEL AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Sofidel’s sustainability strategy aims at “building an inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for people and planet”, in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through its commitment, Sofidel aims to contribute, among others, to the following UN SDGs: Good health and well-being (3); Clean Water and Sanitation (6); Renewable energy (7); Responsible consumption and production (12); Climate Action (13); Partnerships for the goals (17).
SOFIDEL SUPPLIERS SUSTAINABILITY AWARD
The Sofidel Group is committed to be responsible for its corporate management by directing all the activities and decision-making processes, being in line with the sustainable development objectives shared by the whole Group. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary and in order to promote the ethical and responsible management of the supply chain, the Group assigns the “SOFIDEL SUPPLIERS SUSTAINABILITY AWARD” to the most sustainable Suppliers considered fundamental business partners for the achievement of its own strategy.
DOXA RESEARCH
Sofidel commissioned Doxa Marketing Advice to carry out research to find out what people want and their dreams for a better, more sustainable world, now and in ten years’ time, in 5 different European countries…
The project: Alcohol-Free Truck
Sofidel has always promoted a culture of health, from the production facilities to the health and hygiene characteristics of its finished products, up until their distribution via road transport. Aware of the dramatic importance of road safety, Sofidel recently felt duty bound to commit itself on this front too, given the large number of vehicles that annually transport its products on Europe’s roads (35.000 in Italy; 185.000 in Europe). This has led to the creation of Alcohol-Free Truck, a unique and innovative project in the tissue sector that promotes a policy of protecting and safeguarding road safety and safety in the workplace against alcohol-related issues.
PEOPLE
From customers to shareholders, employees to suppliers, business partners to institutional stakeholders, Sofidel’s business is designed to promote well-being, health and safety with a transparent, interactive and collaborative approach.
ENVIRONMENT
The reduction of climate-altering gas emissions, preserving forestry and energy resources, reducing water consumption… Sofidel invests in technologies and practices to reduce the environmental footprint of its business.
CONSUMER PROTECTION
Consumer protection is a priority at Sofidel, both in terms of focus on manufacturing and distribution processes and the function and hygiene levels of its products.
SUSTAINABILITY POLICY
At Sofidel, sustainability is a strategic criterion to achieve the aim of creating long term value. This is why its pursuit is constantly measured, as well as regulated by well-defined decision-making processes and proven operational practices.
PARTNERSHIP
In adopting corporate social responsibility and sustainability as its strategic approach for expansion, the Sofidel Group started other partnerships with other important institutions, foundations and NGOs focused on social or environmental issues.
For the Sofidel Group it is important to develop ways to measure and present a financial statement for achieved results that are clear and consolidated. They also need to aim at ensuring transparent communication, protect those with an interest, comparability of performances and support decision-makers.
