ERREÀ launches its Sustainability Manifesto In collaboration with ACBC
ERREÀ, a leading sports apparel company, has drafted its own Sustainability Manifesto in collaboration with ACBC, an Italian BCorp and Circular Science Company, a leader in B2B green consultancy, design, and production of responsible products. The Sustainability Manifesto represents a formal commitment, primarily developed around five thematic areas. Drafted by ACBC in collaboration with ERREÀ management, the document represents the company's ethical commitment and mission to pursue responsible business practices and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This unique document not only defines the company's position on environmental sustainability but also embodies the strategic direction for the entire organization, as well as developing emission reduction interventions that require a comprehensive assessment of all operations within the company and all related greenhouse gas emissions.
Regarding Reduction of Scope 2 Emissions, which includes indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity consumed by ERREÀ. To achieve this goal, the company commits to using renewable energy for its operations. By leveraging renewable energy sources such as solar or wind, it aims to minimize dependence on fossil fuels and reduce its carbon footprint. Additionally, it actively seeks partnerships with renewable energy suppliers and explores on-site renewable energy generation options to ensure cleaner energy supply for its facilities. Another goal is the Reduction of Carbon Footprint per Unit Sold. ERREÀ has set an ambitious target to reduce carbon footprint per unit sold by 30% by 2030. To achieve this goal, the company adopts a multifaceted approach. Firstly, it conducts comprehensive life cycle assessments of carbon footprint to identify key carbon emission points in product supply chains. It explores optimization opportunities in material selection, production processes, and logistics to minimize emissions throughout the product lifecycle. Furthermore, it promotes research and development initiatives to identify innovative and sustainable materials with lower carbon footprints.
Moreover, the company recognizes the importance of responsible material sourcing to achieve sustainable practices, aiming to increase the share of products made with responsible materials to 20% of total annual production by 2030. To achieve this goal, ERREÀ closely collaborates with suppliers to ensure transparency and traceability in the supply chain. It prioritizes the use of recycled materials and other eco-friendly alternatives. By promoting responsible material choices, it contributes to the circular economy and reduces the environmental impact associated with raw material extraction. Finally, a key strategy for ERREÀ is waste minimization in all operations. The company constantly optimizes production processes to improve accuracy and reduce material waste. This involves adopting lean production principles, embracing advanced technologies, and investing in cutting-edge machinery to maximize efficiency. Additionally, it actively participates in recycling and waste management programs to divert waste from landfills. By minimizing waste generation, the company strives to achieve a more sustainable and resource-efficient operation.
