AGC Srl adopted an Environmental Management System compliant with the requirements of the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 prescriptions in order to achieve the following general objectives:

• • implementation of an increasingly organized management structure with well-defined tasks and responsibilities;
• • adopt principles of protection and respect for the environment to guarantee the company’s success in the market;
• • invest in environmental impact reduced and raw material-controlled production that returns water and air as unaltered as possible in relation to the feasibility and the cost savings of the best technologies available;
• • promote the reduction of the company generated environmental impacts as of the directly connected third party activities, with the participation of all employees;
• • guarantee compliance with all current national and community disposals regarding the environment and accident prevention, also considering technical regulations and international standards;
• • selection of suppliers and raw materials that respect the principles of environmental protection.
• • promote resource savings by reducing the use of the main raw materials (paper, inks and detergents), through careful management of supplies and warehouse, rationalizing and recovering (e.g. reuse of packaging of incoming materials: returning pallets to the supplier, reusing cardboard packaging in the intermediate processing phases and recovering of plastic wrapping reused in final packaging)

To achieve this AGC Srl is committed to:

• • Clearly define tasks and responsibilities of the internal staff involved in activities that may have an impact on the environment;
• • increase the use of innovative technologies in order to save energy and resources;
• • respect the limits established by current environmental legislation in the context of the environmental aspects of interest;
• • progressively reduce and prevent the environmental impact caused by its activities;
• • make staff responsible and involved in quality and environmental issues by asking them to make an effort of maximum collaboration and commitment to guarantee development and improvement in a environmental-friendly way;
• • raise suppliers’ awareness of environmental issues and adopt measures to encourage them to assume an environmental management system;
• • make this policy, its guiding principles and related objectives known to all staff and other stakeholders through appropriate means;
• • design its products according to the standards of the circular economy: with proposals to the customer of certified, ecological, natural, recycled and recyclable papers and print media;
• • pursue continuous improvement of environmental activities;
• • guarantee the availability of proper human, instrumental and economic resources;
• • establish and maintain an active dialogue based on collaboration with civil society, local authorities, trade associations, supervisory authorities and any other interested party, to make the company’s environmental path clear and transparent.

Together with the general objectives, AGC Srl defines year by year the specific environmental objectives aimed to reduce and/or eliminate the environmental impacts linked to its activities.

The AGC Srl management is entrusted with primary responsibility for the achievement of the previously indicated objectives and the related actions necessary for the full achievement of the objectives themselves.
