OUR PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Because the world is the one thing we all have in common…
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
Today sustainability should be a way of life, and each of us must do our part in raising awareness of this issue to set an example for future generations.
Therefore, sustainable development must be actively incorporated and promoted by businesses and societies to ensure that the needs of the present generation are met, without compromising the ability of future generations to realize their own.
For this reason, in 2018 we began our journey towards sustainability, aiming to promote sustainable themes and projects, arriving in 2022 at the creation of an internal team dedicated to the implementation of ESG projects.
Starting from the contents of the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development and the European Green Deal, the most important and relevant SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for the activities of our organization were analyzed and identified.
This allowed the planning and execution of specific and effective interventions, which allowed Biokosmes to achieve concrete results in all pre-established sectors. The projects developed and implemented had as their common thread the achievement of a better and more sustainable future for all employees and their families.
Thanks to the important attention of our CEO to sustainability issues and thanks to his pioneering entrepreneurial vision of corporate governance, to date Biokosmes confirms its profound desire to maintain the objectives achieved and develop new ones.
OUR SDGs
From the year 2022, we have decided to focus on certain SDGs that we have deemed to be priorities and the most consistent with our sector, trying to align our working environment with the most ecological solution possible. In detail:
SDG 4 - 4 Quality Education
SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG 9 - Indusrty, Innovation and Infraestructure
SDG 12 - Responsible Consuption and Production
SDG 14 - Life Below Water
OUR ESG PROJECTS
In 2019, after a training held by ERGO and Bocconi University, we were able to set a plan of sustainability projects to develop within the company. Later, in 2022, we established the ESG Team, a group of colleagues dedicated to the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) projects, such as:
WHP
From 2018, we support the Workplace Health Promotion project, that promoves health and safety for workers.
EcoVadis
We have been awarded the silver EcoVadis Medal for the year 2023. EcoVadis is the largest and most reliable certifying body for the evaluation of corporate sustainability.
Decarbonisation study
We have undertaken a decarbonisation study to assess areas for improvement within the company.
Carbon Footprint Study
We’re working on our Carbon Footprint study to estimate the total greenhouse gases emissions caused directly and indirectly by Biokosmes, so that actions can be taken to reduce emissions.
OUR PATH TO RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
