Environmental Assessments and Authorizations: SEA - EIA - IPPC Permit

Starting from the idea that environmental sustainability is one of the pillars of development, Confindustria has adopted the "Confederation Charter of Principles for the Environmental Sustainability" as a tool of guidance for Italian companies which agreed to cooperate on the common goal of achieving sustainable development models for our Country.

The Charter of Principles is accompanied by an Operational Guidance that provides a support tool to implement concrete actions and to assess their level of consistency with principles and commitments to environmental sustainability enshrined in the Charter.

Among the ten principles of the Charter-commitments, the principle related to the "Control and reduction of environmental impacts" that provides for "Check and, where possible, reduce emissions to air, water and soil; pursue the minimization of waste production and its efficient management, focusing on the recovery and reuse instead of disposal; take appropriate measures to limit the effects of the activities on climate change, promote the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems".

Enterprises and business organizations associated with Confindustria participate on a voluntary basis to the Charter and the Operating Manual.
