Italian fibre manufacturer Radici Group has published its sustainability report for 2015, twelve years after its first report of this kind appeared.

Group president, Angelo Radici, said on unveiling the latest report that in the course of those 12 years, Radici’s strategic vision has changed and sustainability is now “at the centre of its activities”.

The group has reduced the environmental impact of its activities: in the three-year period 2013-2015, the consumption of primary energy from fossil sources was reduced by 14.3%, while the use of renewable source energy increased by 4.2%. Seven group companies (based in Italy, Brazil and Germany) use 100% renewable energy.

On the environmental performance front, during the same 2013-2015 period, the Group reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 21.6% and pollutant emissions by 60.5%.
