Mollificio Bergamasco: tangible steps towards sustainability
Renowned for producing compression, tension, torsion, and special springs, Mollificio Bergamasco prioritizes environmental sustainability. Letizia Zoia, Marketing Manager, shared insights into the company's sustainability initiatives.
How is Mollificio Bergamasco reducing its environmental footprint?
In 2023, we continued our ambitious sustainability goals, leveraging our technologies to drive the ongoing energy transition. By collaborating with clients in sectors like industrial, construction, electronics, and mechanics, we competitively reduce our carbon footprint. Through optimization and decarbonization, we've implemented solutions to make our transportation, production, and operations much more sustainable. Our mission emphasizes value creation across the entire production chain, fostering a low-emission society, preserving resources, and promoting social progress. Sustainability is ingrained in every aspect of our operations, guided by principles of integrity and transparency. To further this commitment, we're intensifying efforts by setting carbon neutrality goals aligned with the Science Based Targets Net-Zero standard, the net-zero emission targets for companies.
What are the company's current sustainability goals and efforts?
Last year, we outlined new greenhouse gas emission targets, aiming to address Scope 1, 2, and 3 sectors by 2030. Our commitment extends beyond internal emissions' reduction; we empower clients to avoid and offset emissions while promoting renewable energy adoption. Collaborating closely with suppliers and partners, we support emission reduction initiatives. In product management, we prioritize the entire lifecycle, emphasizing waste and consumption reduction, and expanding reuse and recycling practices. These efforts adhere to the latest international standards and underscore our dedication to human rights across the value chain, fostering an ethical and responsible corporate culture.
How is Mollificio Bergamasco ensuring compliance with sustainability principles?
Our robust business model, focused on production and performance, ensures that our operational divisions (cutting, assembly, and springs) are fully responsible for their sustainability results. At the beginning of 2024, we updated our Human Rights Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct in line with our sustainability commitment, reflecting our expectations. We take pride in our efforts to advance a more sustainable and resource-efficient future through ongoing collaboration and support from our customers, employees, partners, and other stakeholders.
