Renewing our commitment to environmental protection
Working to build a sustainable future, together
At CAB, safeguarding the environment represents a core value that guides our choices and actions. We are convinced that protecting the ecosystem is the foundation for long-term growth and shared prosperity for future generations.
Our environmental strategy is based on an approach that embraces all aspects of our production cycle, from the efficient use of resources to mitigating the environmental impact of our activities by adopting energy saving measures.
Our core values
PLANNING
We design and implement our activities in order to minimize environmental impact starting in the planning phase. We adopt best-in-class technical solutions and practices to prevent pollution and safeguard the territory.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
We apply the principles of the circular economy to optimize resource use, maximize product value, and promote recovery and recycling rather than waste disposal. We promote the responsible use of natural resources by valuing alternative materials to replace natural raw materials and fossil fuels.
REDUCTION IN EMISSIONS
We continuously monitor and reduce atmospheric emissions by investing in innovative technologies and promoting research projects.
Waste management
We optimize waste production aligned with circular economy principles, with the goal of recycling and recovery.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We perform energy audits and implement measures to decrease energy consumption and our production process’ carbon footprint.
Environmental restoration
We rehabilitate our mining areas with precise and cadenced actions through reclamation and planting of native plant species.
Governance
A measurable and transparent commitment
Our value system is centred around creating meaningful for a sustainable future, expressed through a vision that focuses on improving people’s safety, enhancing the value of communities and territories where the group operates, promoting diversity and inclusion, and fostering the ability to innovate sustainably in engineering know-how and techniques within our production processes.
A corporate culture rooted in the values of honesty, transparency, and legality, made concrete through the adoption of an Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, a Code of Ethics, and other certifications.
An open dialogue with stakeholders
We believe in a sustainable development model that actively engages all stakeholders: local communities, institutions, suppliers, customers and employees. We promote a continuous, open dialogue with all parties to encourage feedback, share best practices and to build a more sustainable future together.
Building a responsible business and correct governance are cornerstones of our ethical culture and inspire the conduct of the governing bodies, management, employees, and interactions with customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.
A pledge to our future
Our environmental performance is regularly monitored and measured through specific indicators, which we report in our Sustainability Report, transparently communicating our achievements, progress, and ambitious goals.
Environmental protection is a constant commitment for Gruppo Cementerie Aldo Barbetti. We are constantly seeking innovative solutions to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to building a more sustainable future for all.
