AKU continues its process of studying and evaluating its environmental impact with a new certification designed to provide a scientific basis for undertaking concrete reduction actions.
After calculating and certifying the CO2 emission levels of individual products, AKU's research activity has moved to a higher level. In compliance with ISO protocols, the complex of emissions of the entire industrial organization has been analyzed.
A further effort that determines for the company a greater level of awareness regarding the critical areas on which to act to define appropriate reduction actions.
The results of the analysis highlight that the most significant part of AKU's environmental impact does not concern internal production processes so much as the supply chain of raw materials and essential materials to ensure the technical reliability and durability of the product.
The updating and efficiency of internal production processes remains a central objective for AKU in its industrial strategy; only in this way is it possible to guarantee a quality and service standard adequate to the continuously evolving needs of the market.
However, it is on the supply chain front that urgent action must be taken, imagining shared projects with the different actors that have as a common goal the search for new production solutions in line with the future objectives imposed globally by institutions.
The BEHIND THE LABEL communication program, through which AKU presents good practices implemented with some of its suppliers to redefine some production practices, is an example of how the company intends to move to confirm, in a concrete and measurable way, its responsible commitment regarding the containment of environmental impact.
