Caffè Vergnano´s Committee for Sustainability is born
February 11, 2021On the occasion of International Earth Day 2021, Caffè Vergnano
announces the creation of its Committee for Sustainability, a new operational
body that aims at establishing the company’s strategic and action lines for the
next few years.
In defining
the action plan, Caffè Vergnano has identified three areas within which to
articulate these activities: production process, energy, and product
development.
For years,
the company has been committed to running these actions sustainably, and they
will be the springboard from which the guidelines will be defined.
The
Committee is made up, at a very early stage, of technical and strategic
resources within the company, who are currently engaged in the following
divisions: Production, Quality, Purchasing, Logistics, Design, Marketing &
Pr.
A second
phase will also include the entry of guests and external consultants in order
to broaden the point of view and skills applied to the project.
“For years,
we have been committed to sustainability in a broad sense. We believe it is now
essential to structure our actions in a more defined and shared way” declares
Carolina Vergnano, founder of the Corporate Committee – “This is the only way
that we can act more concretely and effectively, putting environmental issues
at the center of our business approach “
Always
sensitive to environmental issues, Caffè Vergnano is constantly committed to
minimizing the impact on the environment. From compostable capsules to the
reuse of empty coffee cans, from packs that can be fully recycled and to whole
bean coffee packs made up with 50% recycled PET.
Furthermore, since 2018, our approach to sustainability has also extended to social issues with Women in Coffee, the fundraising project that supports female empowerment projects and enhances the role of women in coffee plantations.
