GROUP <\/b> has chosen to submit for the first time the operational, environmental and ethical processes of <b>LAV.EL. GOMMA  <\/b>to the rigorous evaluation of EcoVadis, one of the most authoritative and globally recognized corporate sustainability rating providers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We earned the Bronze Medal, officially placing us among the top 35% of companies evaluated globally. This result recognizes the synergy and commitment of all our corporate entities in translating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into concrete daily actions. <b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Looking to the next milestone: Silver goal<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The bronze medal represents a solid foundation to build on, not a finish line to rest on. With a score of 67 points out of 100, the threshold for obtaining the silver medal (set at 73\/100) is close, and we&#8217;re already working on it! <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ecological and ethical transition is a complex challenge, but we have demonstrated that we have all it takes to lead it as a protagonist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The four pillars of evaluation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The EcoVadis evaluation model analyses company performance using international standards based on four fundamental macro-areas:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">1. Environment: optimizing resources, responsible management of materials, and implementing innovative solutions (such as our eco-friendly and PFAS-free surface treatments).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">2. Labor Practices and Human Rights: protecting workplace safety, enhancing human capital, and promoting a fair and inclusive work environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">3. Ethics: transparency in trade flows, fairness in business practices, and strict compliance with current regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">4. Sustainable procurement: monitoring and qualifying the supply chain to ensure that our suppliers also operate in compliance with the highest ethical and environmental standards.<b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A solid starting score: 67\/100 Entering the select circle of EcoVadis certified companies with a score of 67\/100 on the first attempt is proof that the path taken by management and the entire technical and operational team is the right one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This milestone sends a strong signal to our business partners, suppliers, and international customers, confirming that behind every one of our products is a responsible supply chain.<b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We are already working to analyze the areas for further efficiency improvements identified in the EcoVadis report, with a very clear company goal: to achieve and obtain the silver medal by the end of the year, during the next evaluation session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the growth journey of a contemporary company, sustainability is no longer an option or a simple ideal, but a measurable and essential strategic asset.
