• Carbon-OwnOperations

In the global Sustainalytics ranking, Piovan is placed in the 29th percentile with the position improving further in the industrial Machinery Subindustry, where Piovan is placed in the 5th percentile.

"The achievement of this important recognition - comments Nicola Piovan, Executive Chairman - is evidence of the continuous commitment that the Group dedicates to ESG aspects in the totality of sustainable development. This rating is not the arrival but a stage in the journey.".

"We are satisfied because the rating obtained enhances the peculiarities of the Piovan Group, focusing on low Scope 1 emissions - direct generated by the company -, Scope 2 - indirect generated by the energy purchased and consumed by the company. The company aims to be a global driver in the conversion to a circular economy within the plastics industry." adds Filippo Zuppichin, CEO.
