Impact stories
Environmental issues management
Boero has been ISO 14001 certified for years and follows the requirements of this standard as a model for constant growth in the environmental field. In fact, an annual assessment of environmental aspects and impacts is carried out, with the aim of monitoring and limiting them, through appropriate improvement actions that are included and developed in an appropriate plan discussed with the Management.
Waste management
The goal is reducing its impact on the territory, by constantly monitoring its consumption of raw materials and the waste produced by its activities. The improvement activities started with reference suppliers with regard to waste management led to an increase in the recovery of hazardous waste of about 50%.
Raw materials used
In 2022 the project on the use of recycled plastic for some product lines was born, both for the Building and Yachting part. The studies, in collaboration with the suppliers concerned, and the first tests have begun and full implementation is expected during 2023.
Water consumption management system
The water resources used by the Group are mainly employed within the production cycle. Due to modernisation work on the line, water discharges has been drastically reduced.
Energy consumption and emissions management system
The main energy sources used by the Group to carry out its activities fall into four types: electricity, natural gas, diesel fuel and petrol. In 2022 we registered an important decrease in natural gas consumption, of about 25% compared to the previous year.
