The idea of partners at the forefront
In order to achieve more e ective results in economic, environmental and social terms, the company’s stakeholders – in particular its partners – must receive information and training.
New logo Ratti For Responsibility result of internal competition
The Ratti Group has started the process of raising its employees’ awareness, starting with the Parent company Ratti S.p.A.
The employees of Ratti S.p.A. have
been made aware, through numerous communication activities and actions, of the adoption of increasingly sustainable behaviour.
This has strengthened, day by day, the culture of sustainability. In particular, in order to involve people still further, an internal competition was organised with the aim of giving a name and a logo to
the virtuous journey undertaken towards the company’s sustainable development in economic, environmental and social terms. Employees were invited to suggest ideas
to improve the company’s sustainability, including from a financial perspective. Stand-out ideas suggested by Ratti S.p.A.’s employees include replacing bottled water in the canteen with water dispensers from the local area.
This cut out the related use of plastic as well as the consequent emissions of CO2 from transport. In addition, reusable, foldable and stackable plastic boxes were introduced for internal transport within the Group. This eliminated the purchase and disposal of cardboard cartons and, thanks to the optimisation of space inside the trucks, reduced the number of trips and their related environmental impact.

COMPANY’S INVESTMENT IN THE PROJECT RATTI FOR RESPONSIBILITY
Towards “Planet Ratti”
Everything we consume on Planet Ratti remains on planet earth.
Less energy, less water, less emissions, less natural resources on Planet Ratti. More energy, more water, more air, more natural resources
for planet earth.
A commitment to reducing environmental impact
Since its foundation, Ratti has encapsulated a world of ethical and aesthetic values in which elegance is a natural dimension that moves in unison with a respect for the environment, telling a story of craftsmanship and beauty that is rooted in people, in their talent and, last but not least, in the region.
This humanistic approach, united with Ratti’s dedication to sustainability, underpins the rai- son d’être of the Group’s people, as custodians of unrivalled expertise and sensibility. F
rom this point of view, the management of environmental impact, which for Ratti means paying particular attention to the matter of waste, is inherent in the DNA of the business and is integrated into its business model.
Specifically, since 2011 the Group has undertaken a journey of sustainable development, with a particular focus on safeguarding the environment. This is a project where environmental re- sponsibility translates not only into action aimed at monitoring and reducing impact, but also into initiatives whose goal is to promote awareness of sustainability among employees, cus- tomers and suppliers. Specifically, these actions find expression in significant investments (the acquisition of new machinery and the optimisation of processes) which, in the last five years, have reached EUR 20 million. All the investments in technology, the optimisation of production
