We have enthusiastically embraced the principles of the circular economy and are guiding our company towards this new paradigm based on the logic of reuse and recycling. From energy supply to packaging design that is as sustainable as possible, from elimination of waste to the choice of recyclable materials, from ecological updating of the production chain to optimisation of storage and transport, the circular economy has become for us a new line of thought, that affects every sector of our business. We expect our suppliers, too, to respect the logic of circularity, starting by reducing their packaging.
The report on the measurement of circularity published by the Institute of Management of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa, following application of the Extended Check-Up Tool, classified Arbi as pro-activist (a company that has undertaken its own path towards circularity and has prepared a plan of future actions for its maximisation). This evaluation analysed procurement, planning and design, production, distribution, waste management, and completeness of information provided to consumers.
The Extended Check-Up Tool is an investigative tool for evaluating 39 aspects of the production system, thanks to the application of qualitative and quantitative scales. Arbi's total score was 70%, a very positive result that places our company among the most qualified and active in terms of circularity, not only nationally but also internationally.
