We believe that technological evolution is inherently linked to the impacts generated by production processes. With this in mind, we prioritise sustainability, placing it at the heart of our business strategy to balance economic growth and environmental stewardship, employee wellness and value creation for society.
Elleci is committed to doing business sustainably, prioritising a healthy planet and promoting community well-being. To this end, we have set specific targets and defined tangible actions that we plan to implement by 2030 to improve our environmental and social performance.
50% renewable raw materials
50% from renewable sources
50% reduction in water consumption for production
50% reduction in CO2eq
50% reduction in waste generated by the production cycle
We are working to create an increasingly eco-sustainable and responsible production cycle.
The Elleci Innovation Center has taken on two ambitious projects that will lead to the production of a full-green sink: the introduction of recycled raw materials in our material formulas and the gradual replacement of quartz with 100% renewable raw materials of natural origin.
Our materials have obtained the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) based on the product life cycle, which evaluates the environmental impact of resources, energy, and emissions. The verified and reliable data provided by the EPD certification demonstrate the company’s compliance with environmental standards and support continuous performance improvement programs.
We have installed two photovoltaic systems to cover our energy needs, aiming for a 50% consumption rate from renewable sources.
The second industrial system, which became operational in 2023, embraces the innovative multi-plant concept: a combination of different production systems that maximise flexibility and efficiency to reduce not only operating costs but also the environmental impact of energy use.
We use water consumption monitoring systems to identify inefficiencies and implement recycling and filtering technologies to achieve 100% water reuse in our production process.
A dedicated purifier for our utility water, making it suitable for irrigation purposes, will further improve the sustainable management of water resources.
All this will lead to a 50% reduction in groundwater withdrawals.
The use of photovoltaic energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but, most importantly, is the first of many steps towards complete decarbonisation by 2050.
To help achieve the ambitious goals set by the EU designed to combat global warming, we are committed to investing in innovative technologies in the energy sector, stepping up our emission-offsetting planting projects, and engaging suppliers and partners to ensure a sustainable supply chain.
We are currently undertaking challenging and foresighted studies aimed at minimising the amount of industrial waste we produce.
This approach involves on one hand, optimising our processes and using cutting-edge chemistry to reduce waste, and on the other, reusing waste within the production cycle as a substitute for natural raw materials.
Every individual contributes a unique set of skills, creativity and passion. It is this combination that sets us apart and makes us exceptional. We strive to create a fair, stimulating and inclusive work environment, where every person feels respected, valued and inspired to give their best.
We support the professional growth and personal welfare of our employees through supplementary policies in parallel to the Collective Bargaining Agreements. The main initiatives planned for 2030 include a production bonus, employee wellness program, remuneration policy and gender equality.
We offer in-house development opportunities, training and mentoring programs to help our employees advance in their careers.
We promote a culture of learning, dialogue and a constant exchange of ideas: our managers provide regular feedback to their teams, acknowledge their achievements and support their continuous improvement.
We have identified several valuable tools to provide social support, ensuring men and women can effectively balance their personal and professional life.
These measures include maternity management, shared parenting, flexible hours and support services for employees with family responsibilities.
Our commitment to employee health and safety is a key element of our corporate culture.
To ensure a safe and healthy work environment, we implement policies and procedures aimed at reducing risks to health and safety and preventing workplace accidents, in addition to providing safety training and raising awareness among all employees.
We firmly believe that a company’s success
is strictly linked to social well-being. With this in mind, we invest in initiatives that promote education, health and economic development, both in our own region and in other countries experiencing crises and humanitarian emergencies.
Our aim is to make a tangible contribution to building a fairer world, where rights and opportunities for growth are guaranteed.
Governance is about much more than just regulatory compliance. It is the basis on which our corporate reputation and success are built, with transparency, fairness and integrity as the cornerstones.
We are determined to ensure the highest standards of business conduct in all our operations, encouraging relations based on trust and integrity. The Code of Ethics, which is binding on employees but also our suppliers and partners, outlines the moral values guiding our day-to-day operations; the 231 Organisational Model minimises the risk of offences and corruption; the Whistleblowing procedures ensure the timely reporting of unlawful or fraudulent behaviour.
Our aim is for sustainability to be an increasingly central and cross-cutting component of the entire value chain.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will be tasked primarily with developing strategies and guiding all corporate initiatives to do with sustainability, monitoring our progress in achieving the set targets.
It is no coincidence that “Together” is the first word preceding the new logo – Elleci Together, with style – testifying our innate awareness that this virtuous path towards sustainability, just like all other forms of progress, is always the product of great team work.
