Environment: Organizational and Product Impacts
The energy we use, the transportation of raw materials, our shipping logistics, and above all the choices regarding raw materials and the entire value chain, have a significant influence on the calculation of emissions and the environmental impact of the Telema Group.
Our supplier analysis has always included a careful selection process that considers the recyclability of the materials used.
Stainless steel (AISI 304, AISI 310) accounts for 80% of the materials used across most of the Group's product lines. In recent years, our procurement department has focused on sourcing recycled and 100% recyclable steel whenever possible.
This year, we acquired a software license dedicated solely to measuring and monitoring CO₂ emissions across the entire Telema organization.
An emissions analysis for each Telema Group product is also available upon request, conducted in accordance with the GHG Protocol, with the option to extend to a more detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) if required in the future.
These analyses form the foundation of Telema's continuous improvement process in reducing its environmental footprint.
Social Responsibility
Ethics and employee well-being are central to Telema's approach toward all collaborators and partners.
The company recently achieved ISO 45001 certification to strengthen occupational health and safety management.
Telema also upholds a long-standing Code of Ethics (available for consultation), which outlines the company's key principles of social responsibility and includes a compliance system aligned with Legislative Decree 231/2001.
The control system includes an anonymous reporting procedure, allowing employees to report unethical or sanctionable behavior in accordance with the whistleblowing protocol.
