♻ A LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE FOR OUR MAGNUM OPTIMUM Schoeller Allibert worked with Ecochain to develop life cycle assessments comparing our containers with single-use alternatives in typical situations. It is important to note that any LCA depends on the parameters chosen, such as transportation distance, payloads, and end-of-life scenarios. Our Magnum Optimum® foldable large container was compared with the alternative of using wooden pallets and cardboard boxes, focusing on the emissions produced over a life cycle of ten years in a typical use-case.  The assessment found that even though the Magnum Optimum® scenario emits about 20% more carbon in year one (due to the more carbon- intensive production of the reusable packaging), this scenario already performs better from year two onwards, producing less carbon emissions than wooden pallets and cardboard.

The Angelantoni Group's 2023 Sustainability Report is now online. Federica Angelantoni, Chief Sustainability Officer of the Group, highlights the importance of developing a symbiosis between territory and company. “An industrial and social symbiosis that fuels mutual growth economically and humanly. Symbiosis means not only that one cannot live without the other, but that one grows as the other grows. A virtuous process of self-feeding that determines the stability on which the company can count to grow and expand its business into new markets. Only in this way does sustainability become pervasive and capable of defining a growth model, otherwise it becomes mere compliance.” Read more and download the document in pdf format: rb.gy/xd4m2g #GRIstandards #angelantoni #sustainability #ESG #2030agenda #territory #growth

📐MGS GRC Infographic 🌱 🌐 CSR ESG sostenibilità ♻️Economia circolare (standard serie ISO 59000) 🌐 ISO ha recentemente rilasciato una serie di standard per armonizzare la comprensione della economia circolare e per supportare la sua implementazione e la sua misurazione. ♻️ Questi sono gli standard relativi alla economica circolare: 📘ISO 59004:2024 “Circular economy — Vocabulary, principles and guidance for implementation” 📘ISO 59010:2024 “Circular economy - guidance on the transition of business models and value network” 📘ISO 59020:2024 “Circular economy - measuring and assessing circular economy” 📘ISO 59040:2024 “Circular economy - product circularity data sheet” 📘ISO 59014:2024 “Environmental management and circular economy – sustainability and traceability of the recovery od secondary materials - principles and requirements” 📝 In particolare lo standard ISO 59014 definisce l’economica circolare come un “sistema economico che utilizza un approccio sistemico per mantenere un flusso circolare di risorse, recuperando, conservando o aggiungendo valore, contribuendo allo sviluppo sostenibile « 🌱 L’economia circolare è quindi un aspetto sempre più importante nell’ambito della sostenibilità ESG CSR, anche per i suoi collegamenti con l’Agenda 2030 dell’ONU e con i temi di responsabilità sociale CSR (vedi anche standard ISO 26000). 🌱 🌐 CSR ESG sustainability ♻️Circular economy (ISO 59000 standard series) 🌐 ISO has recently released a series of standards to harmonize the understanding of the circular economy and to support its implementation and measurement. ♻️ These are the standards relating to the circular economy: 📘ISO 59004:2024 “Circular economy — Vocabulary, principles and guidance for implementation” 📘ISO 59010:2024 “Circular economy - guidance on the transition of business models and value networks” 📘ISO 59020:2024 “Circular economy - measuring and assessing circular economy” 📘ISO 59040:2024 “Circular economy - product circularity data sheet” 📘ISO 59014:2024 “Environmental management and circular economy – sustainability and traceability of the recovery or secondary materials - principles and requirements” 📝 In particular, the ISO 59014 standard defines the circular economy as an "economic system that uses a systemic approach to maintain a circular flow of resources, recovering, conserving or adding value, contributing to sustainable development« 🌱 The circular economy is therefore an increasingly important aspect in the context of ESG CSR sustainability, also due to its connections with the UN Agenda 2030 and with CSR social responsibility issues (see also ISO 26000 standard). #sustainability #ESG #CSR #ISO26000 #agenda20230 #circulareconomy #economiacircolare #ISO59004 #ISO59010 #ISO59020 #ISO59040 #ISO59014
