ASTRA SUSTAINABILITY

Commitment to a sustainable future

At Astra Vernici, we believe that the future of our planet depends on the actions we take today. This is why we are committed to producing wood paints that respect the environment while ensuring quality and durability. Discover how we adopt sustainable practices at every stage of our production process.

Eco-friendly products

We are developing a new range of eco-friendly paints, formulated with carefully selected raw materials from renewable sources and designed to minimize environmental impact. Our commitment includes significantly reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and eliminating toxic solvents, favouring water-based and biodegradable formulations.

Production process

At every stage of our production process, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact by adopting cutting-edge technologies and practices. Our facilities are primarily powered by renewable energy sources. An advanced real-time energy vector monitoring system allows us to continuously optimize energy efficiency. At the same time, thermal rehabilitation of buildings and closed-cycle tank production prevent thermal dissipation and reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Finally, we have completed the revamping of our lighting system, replacing traditional lighting with LED, which ensures significant energy savings and greater long-term sustainability.

Waste, packaging, and logistics

We manage waste in compliance with current regulations, adopting rigorous measures to minimize its production. Non-hazardous waste is fully recycled through separate collection, reducing environmental impact. We have also reduced the use of plastic by installing filtered water dispensers for our employees. We also ensure proper labelling of our products, facilitating their correct disposal and recycling. To further reduce our environmental impact, we have invested in a low-emission company fleet and optimised shipments to decrease our carbon footprint. We prioritize local suppliers and collaborate with exclusive retailers, increasing territorial proximity and reducing emissions related to transportation.

Social responsibility

We integrate social responsibility into our decision-making processes, ensuring that our choices reflect the values that guide our company. We constantly invest in the training and professional growth of our employees, ensuring safe working conditions and respect for workers’ rights. We believe in a safe and healthy work environment, actively promoting workplace health and safety, together with physical and mental well-being, and offering, among other things, free flu vaccinations to our employees. We value an inclusive work environment where differences are appreciated, and equality is promoted at every level.

Governance

We adopt transparent and responsible governance models, based on principles of ethics and integrity that permeate all our activities. We build strong and lasting relationships with all stakeholders, listening to their needs and integrating their interests into business decisions. Our dedication to responsibility is demonstrated by achieving ESG and legality ratings, certifying our commitment to high-quality environmental, social, and governance practices. These recognitions confirm our balanced and sustainability-oriented approach, ensuring that our choices always align with the highest standards of transparency and responsibility.
