2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Panguaneta, once again ahead of its time, has signed and promotes the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, the Sustainable Development Goals, approved by the United Nations General Assembly. Through its activity and thanks to the sustainable management at which it has always aimed, Panguaneta can influence 10 Sustainable Development Goals.
Environmental goals
WATER CONSUMPTION (GREATER MONITORING AND CONTROL OF WATER RESOURCES)
The reduction and monitoring of water consumption will help decrease the impact on water resources.
LOWER ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND GREATER EFFICIENCY
Thanks to the new biomass power plant for the production of thermal energy, the share of the thermal energy produced from renewable sources is 90%. The process of optimization and reduction of energy consumption, which started with the 50001 certification, helped us obtain a detailed mapping of the plant energy consumption and draw up an improvement plan for the immediate future.
DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH OF LOW-FORMALDEHYDE AND NAF PRODUCTS
Through the supply chain certification, we can guarantee the sustainability of the raw material produced and the transparency of the value chain. The development of products with low formaldehyde content and the monitoring of the environmental performance of Panguaneta products will highlight the importance of sustainability and product responsibility.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (MONITORING, REDUCTION AND OFFSET OF THE EMISSIONS)
Our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions will help contain climate change. Moreover, thanks to the FSC® license Code FSC-C019345 procedure for the assessment of the ecosystem services, we will be able to quantify our commitment to the fight against climate change.
RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF POPLAR GROVES
Thanks to the FSC® (license Code FSC-C019345) and PEFC/18-31-30 forest management certification, which promotes the responsible management of forests and plantations, we can ensure and enhance the constant benefits from our forest activities.
In compliance with the FSC® and PEFC certifications, we are committed to:
- managing and enhancing representative areas of natural ecosystems equal to 10% of the cultivated areas;
- reducing the use of pesticides;
- preserving biodiversity by carrying out the differentiation of poplar clones in our cultivations;
- managing and implementing ecosystem, water regulation and soil conservation systems.
Actions implemented directly and for which suppliers are supported:
- Reducing water consumption for the irrigation of poplar groves through drip irrigation systems;
- Mapping of poplar groves with satellite geolocation and specific software to determine age, diseases and emergencies;
- Availability of places for recreational activities in poplar groves: public events, educational initiatives.
Human resource goals
We are committed to constantly improving the workplace to increase the health as well as the physical, social and economic well-being of our employees
Developing a rewarding system for those employees who work for the environment and safety through a measurable system training on sustainability and other relevant issues.
We foster gender equality among our employees
Further promoting gender equality: developing the skills of each individual to let them play key roles.
ENSURING STABILITY TO ENSURE WORK AND PRODUCT QUALITY
We pay attention to the welfare of our employees, to whom we offer high working standards, a good working environment and high job stability, with special reference to the most fragile categories.
Economic goals
Sustainable economic growth
Thanks to our stability and presence in the Sabbioneta area, we ensure sustainable economic growth both to the supply chain and to the local community. Moreover, thanks to the use of poplar, we contribute to the development of the Italian territory, increasing the added value of other activities in the area and connected with us.
