Astra Vernici: excellence in ESG rating and commitment to sustainability

Introduction

Awareness of the impact that the chemical industry has on the environment has led us to choose what we believe to be the right way forward. The voluntary choice to undergo an ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) rating, despite the absence of specific obligations, guarantees the constant commitment and attention that Astra Vernici dedicates to its work, its employees and the resulting product.

A historic milestone for the company and the industry

This milestone represents a fundamental step on our path of responsible growth, which sees us as protagonists of positive change for the planet and people. The score obtained by Astra Vernici is not only higher than the Italian average but also better than the industry standard.
We believe that sustainability is not just a duty but an opportunity to improve our business and create a better future. For this reason, we are integrating sustainability into every aspect of our company:

Environment: We supply our plants with energy from renewable sources and take measures to reduce energy consumption, such as thermal renovation of buildings and closed-loop production. We ensure proper labelling of our products, facilitate their disposal and recycling, and strive to minimize waste generation. We use low-emission company fleets and cluster shipments.

Social: We believe in our people and invest in their training and professional development. We guarantee safe working conditions and respect workers’ rights. We actively support local communities through solidarity initiatives and sponsoring and promoting the sustainable development of the territory in which we operate.

Governance: We adopt transparent and accountable governance models based on principles of ethics and integrity.

A greener future

Our ESG rating is only the beginning: we will continue to strive to improve our sustainability performance while respecting the environment and people.
