With an opening event which involved, among other guests, representatives of political and academic institutions, PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING, together with the GEWISS Group presented its first Sustainability Report.
The Report, which in this first edition saw the production of two separate documents (one for GEWISS and one for PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING) but united by the strategies common to the Group, was created following the indications of the Sustainable Development Goals – SDG) of the United Nations, as well as the most recognized reporting principles, the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, published by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
Each company presented a shared and concrete roadmap of results and commitments in the social, economic and environmental fields, starting from some key points: designing innovative and sustainable products, applying the principles of ecodesign and encouraging collaborations useful for research and development; ensure customer satisfaction and truthful information on the environmental impact of products; promote the use of low-impact processes, materials and services, to enhance natural resources and reduce waste throughout the entire life cycle of the product.
“The two documents – commented Paolo CERVINI, CEO of GEWISS Group, during the presentation evening – tell about us, our daily commitments and the results we have achieved. They tell us about our goals for the future, which we want to pursue by continuing to preserve our DNA and building our own path, driven by the values of integrity, excellence and sustainability. The contents expressed therefore represent the Group's commitment towards a truly sustainable development path, capable of making our company and all our stakeholders more aware, sustainable and resilient. Because we are convinced that change arises from our aspirations but above all from our actions and the positive effects that derive from them."
Within the framework of the common sustainability roadmap, a series of programs has been defined which, each for the ESG issues previously identified by the Group, allow the achievement of the sustainability focuses considered to be priorities.
