Governance

Social responsibility is an integral part of our policies, organizational culture, strategies, structures and operations. It accounts for the impact of decisions and activities on society and the environment with complete transparency.

Science-Based net-zero Targets
The Fagerhult Group's sustainability agenda, named “Positive change for better living”,was launched in early 2022 and covers a broad ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) programme.

The Fagerhult Group then took a further step by undertaking to participate in the Science Based Target Initiative for zeroing CO2 emissions by 2045 by intensifying efforts to tackle the climate emergency through the adoption of corporate Science-Based Targets aimed at maximizing its contribution to limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C as set out in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Our zero-emission targets were sent to SBTi in late 2022 and have now been approved.

iGuzzini, as a member-company of the Fagerhult Group, has also undertaken to participate in the Science Based Target Initiative by supporting the goals of the “European Green Deal”.

 

Priorities

The short and long-term goals of our sustainability initiatives are:

- To reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 70% by 2030, compared to 2021;
- To reduce other direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3 and Scope 2) by over 30% by 2030, compared to 2021; 
- To achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions for the Fagerhult Group by 2045.

The Group continuously sets new goals and develops existing ones by breaking them down into local activities and initiatives. This is important to keep our sustainability efforts relevant.

Circular economy

We collaborate with Enel X, the innovative business in the Enel Group which supports companies in the energy efficiency field through a portfolio of value-added products and services to encourage a more independent and sustainable use of energy, in drawing up the Circular Economy Report.

It is an assessment model used to analyse the level of maturity in the implementation and sharing of circular economy principles applied to corporate business, energy sources and consumption systems. It applies the methods at the basis of the certification scheme Circular Certification® Energy Site e Corporate accredited by Accredia, which will allow iGuzzini to proceed with its application for certification in the circular economy field.

The Report assesses 8 distinct areas, such as: Design / Procurement / Energy consumption / Production waste / Logistics and distribution / Sales models / Post-consumer / Corporate approach to the circular economy.

The Report also assesses circularity in the use of energy at the Recanati site. Equally, it identifies a roadmap of effective solutions to improve energy performance. The company's overall performance shows excellent levels, especially in terms of design and the corporate approach to sustainability issues.

We transform waste into value
Thanks to the "Energy circularity" report, we took up suggestion to improve the valorisation of production waste, starting a new collaboration with Sfridoo® by accessing the Circular Economy network.

The Headquarters in Recanati (ITALY) achieved the "Close to Zero Resources sent to Landfill" target for 2021: a rate of diverting waste from landfills of 95%, with 14% recourse to thermal treatment with energy recovery.

Industrial symbiosis
iGuzzini is part of the ENEA project to promote corporate symbiosis between 31 industrial realities in the Marches Region. The aim is to promote networking and collaboration in synergy while operating in different sectors and using different skills in collaboration with the University of Camerino, a partner in the project.
Industrial symbiosis, through an integrated approach, embraces dissimilar and traditionally separate industries operating in different production sectors with separate supply chains. The aim is to create a network that promotes innovative strategies and competitive advantages by exchanging resources (material, energy, water and/or by-products, skills, logistics, etc.). Key aspects that enable industrial symbiosis therefore include collaboration between companies and opportunities for synergy in an appropriate geographical and economic setting.

Realise to understand

iGuzzini became part of the Fagerhult Group in 2019 and has adopted its Guidelines and Code of Conduct, which integrate the principles in our own Code of Conduct.

We also share the Code of Conduct with our business partners and the supply chain. They are required to adopt and implement the principles embodied in this mission statement.

The Code of Conduct, among other things, requires operating as a reliable and honest group it full respect of its commitments.

We believe in long-term business relationships which, together with our partners, lay the foundations for achieving solid results, with full respect for people, society and the environment – entirely in line with our Sustainability Policies.

In 2021, iGuzzini officially joined the Sustainability Report of the Fagerhult Group, which involves third-party audits. We took part in the selection and implementation of a web platform for reporting which helped us eliminate manual activities by switching to a much more efficient digital solution.

Our Sustainability Report
We have chosen to include our Sustainability Report in our Annual Report as an integral part of our daily business.
