Sustainable development

Investment that is responsible with the river, the soil and the forests

Environmental sustainability is a guiding principle: each opportunity is assessed on its technical, sanitary and environmental conditions.

Commitments

How it applies in each sector

Responsible use

Of the river, the soil, the forests and biodiversity, as the guiding principle of every investment.

Forest traceability

Legal sourcing, management plans and replacement of the resources harvested.

Sustainable fishing

Traceability, sanitary controls and ecosystem carrying-capacity studies.

Water and effluents

Water availability cannot be inferred from the presence of the river: each project checks flows, quality, permits and environmental compatibility.

Circular economy

Waste management, effluent treatment, material recovery and biomass from wood residues.

Energy efficiency

Assessment of distributed generation and energy efficiency in the electrical diagnosis of each industrial area.

Training and local jobs

Development with the people of the territory

The proposal replaces the view of local employment as a secondary commitment with a training, certification and employability policy linked to companies’ actual demand.

Security

Security as a factor of trust

Security is an essential part of the investment decision. A Regional Comprehensive Security Programme for Productive Development is proposed, with two areas: security of operations and protection of urban and logistics centres, respecting human rights and the applicable legal framework. It would not be responsible to promise a total absence of incidents: what can be built is a system of prevention, risk management and business continuity with defined responsibilities.
