Sustainable Operations

To reduce our environmental impact we implement extensive internal business-level action plans. We also look for external certification in accordance with global environmental standards.

Sustainability and responsibility are at the heart of our operational and production activities. Our commitment is focused on reducing environmental impact and protecting the health and safety of people through efficient practices and innovative solutions that support the protection of people, natural resources, and the fight against climate change. These efforts promote the transition to a circular economy, renewable energy, and sustainable processes for ethical and safe growth

Health and Safety

Health and Safety

Corporate sustainability and employee health and safety are closely linked. Giesse is committed to integrating sustainability policies with health and safety measures, ensuring rigorous procedures to protect its employees’ well-being.

“Safety is our first language” is a 2020 campaign emphasizing safety as a priority at all levels. Annual plans focus on continuous improvement through audits, management systems, training, and employee engagement. Progress is tracked with key metrics, and health and safety management is guided by the Health and Safety Policy and Management System.

Zero waste to landfill

Our goal is to eliminate waste sent to landfills by optimizing processes and adopting innovative solutions, through:

  • the use of an evaporator
  • optimization of processes for dangerous waste reduction (as improvement of the surface pre-treatment processes for paintable surfaces)

All of this is in line with the principles of the circular economy: transforming waste disposal to reduce soil and groundwater pollution risks associated with landfill waste, limiting greenhouse gas emissions, and preserving natural resources.
