BePlanet
BePlanet is not a slogan or a logo, but represents a concrete and tangible commitment to achieving, year by year, results that succeed in preserving the environment while improving production quality standards. It is the synthesis of a path of sustainable innovation begun many years ago in which strategic objectives were defined for reducing the footprint on water, soil, air and energy. The project brings together and structures the initiatives that Beretta undertakes every day to protect the environment. The project brings together and organizes the initiatives Beretta undertakes every day to protect the environment. There are six main areas of intervention taking as reference the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals:
1. Reduction in CO2 emissions
2. Reduction in the consumption of raw materials
3. Reduction in waste production
4. Reduction in the use of harmful materials
5. Reclamation of contaminated territories
6. Smart Energy Management
Sustainability report
From all these "good initiatives" the Sustainability Report was born. Although it is not mandatory for the company, Beretta, since 2021 has been publishing a document in which it shows the stakeholders its own vision of a sustainable company. It was decided to highlight all concrete actions, creating a Manifesto, to contribute to global development and to promote human and environmental well-being. For a new paradigm of sustainability.
Reducing water consumption
Thanks to the implementation of process water purification plants, Beretta has saved over 55 million litres of water per year from a requirement of 200 million litres per year. The water used for surface washing of parts is purified before being fed into the Mella river, with a part treated in a closed-circuit demineralisation plant to reduce waste. The American subsidiary also benefits from this system, reducing water consumption at evaporation. Since 2000, a second water recovery circuit allows the recycling of coolant emulsions.
Reducing material consumption
Within the company, Beretta manages various types of waste according to regulations, adopting technological and management solutions to achieve sustainability goals. Sustainable packaging initiatives have been undertaken, such as replacing plastic cases with cardboard packaging and digitising instruction booklets. This has reduced 130 tonnes of plastic and 'saved' 51 tonnes of paper between 2020 and 2022. In addition, the use of water-based paints and degreasers has halved the use of solvents.
Reduction in CO2 emissions
Great attention is paid to all policies on CO2 emissions into the atmosphere: the 455-tonne cut is not enough for us. Constant monitoring of the company's impact guarantees a continuous and substantial margin for improvement through increasingly targeted future investments. The Carbon Footprint Assessment is the guide to better target all future investments, defining the areas of greatest improvement for emission reduction and offsetting actions. In parallel, fleet renewal activities and infrastructure for hybrid vehicles are implemented. Smart working also contributes to positive results.
