Goal 12.5
By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
By quantifying packaging volumes placed on the market and the resulting scrap, we enable precise waste-prevention and minimization measures.
ONGOING OBJECTIVES
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
01.– 2024–2025: (APRIL 2024) IMPLEMENT A SYSTEM TO TRACK THE QUANTITY OF PACKAGING AND CONTAINERS PLACED ON THE MARKET FOR EACH PRODUCT TYPE, ENABLING IDENTIFICATION OF THE SCRAP CONTRIBUTION ON EACH INVOICE.
Goal 12.6
Encourage businesses—particularly large and multinational corporations—to adopt sustainable practices and embed sustainability metrics within their reporting cycle.
Integrating this system into the corporate ERP exemplifies how environmental data can be seamlessly incorporated into management processes and internal reporting.
02. – (2024–2025: SEPTEMBER 2025) INCREASE THE NUMBER OF WAREHOUSE SLOTS AND GAIN PRODUCTIVE SPACE.
Goal 9.1
Develop reliable, sustainable and resilient quality infrastructure—including regional and cross-border networks—to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable, equitable access for all.
Expanding and upgrading the warehouse reinforces our logistics infrastructure capacity, enhancing reliability and enabling sustained productive growth.
Goal 9.2
Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly increase the industry sector’s share of employment and GDP.
By strategically planning additional warehouse slots and productive space, we are engineering an industrial-scale expansion that will drive job creation and unlock greater value across our supply-chain operations.
Goal 9.4
By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and industries to be sustainable, enhancing resource‐use efficiency and adopting clean technologies and environmentally sound industrial processes.
Optimizing physical space through an efficient storage system exemplifies industrial modernization by improving land‐use efficiency and reducing the consumption of additional construction materials.
Goal 8.2
Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological modernization and innovation.
Reorganizing the warehouse to increase available slots enables more streamlined operations and reduces inventory turnaround times, thereby boosting overall productivity.
Goal 12.2
By 2030, achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
Maximizing existing storage capacity reduces the demand for new resources—land, energy and materials—thereby driving more efficient utilization of physical assets. Expanding storage space at A Pontenova cuts down on trips to the Rececende warehouse, lowering greenhouse-gas emissions, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting climate-change mitigation.
03. – IMPLEMENT OVER 50 % OF THE MEASURES IDENTIFIED AS NECESSARY FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION (ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS RESULTING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE).
Goal 13.1
Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters across all operations.
Implementing robust infrastructure and emergency protocols to prevent or mitigate impacts from floods, heatwaves and storms directly enhances organizational adaptability and safeguards business continuity.
Goal 13.2
Integrate climate-change measures into national policies, strategies and plans.
By embedding adaptation actions within the strategic planning and risk-management framework, the company demonstrates coherent climate governance aligned with this target.
Meta 13.3
Improve education, awareness and human and institutional capacity on climate-change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.
Including staff training in early-warning procedures and response protocols reinforces an organizational culture of adaptation.
Meta 11.5
By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths, people affected, and direct economic losses caused by disasters, including those related to water.
Adapting logistics and production facilities to extreme events minimizes disruptions and damage-related costs.
Goal 11.b
By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards climate-change adaptation and disaster resilience.
By aligning its protocols with these urban frameworks, the company contributes directly to enhancing local environmental resilience.
Goal 1.5
By 2030, strengthen the protection of the poor and vulnerable against climate-related extreme events and disasters.
Reducing interruptions in the supply chain and production safeguards jobs and the local economy from climate impacts.
Goal 9.1
Develop reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure to support economic development and human well-being.
Adapting energy grids, drainage systems and storage facilities to withstand heavy rainfall enhances operational continuity.
Meta 6.6
Protect and restore freshwater ecosystems, including lakes, wetlands and rivers.
Implementing sustainable drainage management and watershed conservation measures reduces flood risks and ensures reliable water supply.
04. – REDUCE ANNUAL “USED OIL” WASTE VOLUME BY 30 %
Goal 12.2
By 2030, achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
Optimizing the use of lubricating oils reduces reliance on raw and virgin materials.
Goal 12.4
By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle.
Reducing the volume of used oils leads to lower releases of contaminants into the air, water and soil.
Goal 12.5
By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
A 30 % reduction in used-oil waste directly exemplifies this targeted reduction in residuals.
Goal 12.6
Encourage businesses to adopt sustainable practices and integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.
Tracking this indicator within the prevention plan reinforces transparency and drives continuous improvement.
Goal 8.4
Progressively improve resource efficiency in consumption and production and decouple economic growth from environmental degradation.
The 30 % reduction in used oil improves operational productivity and reduces supply and waste-management costs.
Goal 6.3
Progressively improve resource efficiency in consumption and production and decouple economic growth from environmental degradation.
The 30 % reduction in used oil improves operational productivity and reduces supply and waste-management costs.
