Sofidel Group was founded in 1966 and is one of the largest producers of paper for hygienic and domestic uses (tissue) in the world: toilet paper, kitchen towels, napkins, handkerchiefs and tissues. Our best-known brand, available in several countries, is Regina, which stands alongside other prestigious brands. From its headquarters in Porcari (Lucca, Italy), Sofidel coordinates the activities of 16 companies throughout Europe and the United States, which produce more than 1.4 million tonnes of paper each year and provide more than 6,900 people with employment. Sofidel places strategic importance on sustainability for growth and development, setting the reduction to a minimum of our own impact on natural capital, for the transition to a low-carbon economy, and the maximisation of social benefits as objectives. Sofidel, in fact, believes that companies have the responsibility of playing a fundamental role not only in terms of the production and distribution of goods and services, but also in guaranteeing long-term economic, social and environmental advantages for all stakeholders – shared value – at all stages of the value creation chain.
