Sustainability
Since 2014, Nuova Saimpa has embarked on a systematic journey to integrate sustainability into its business strategy. Over the years, this strategy has evolved, setting increasingly effective goals and management systems.
We have voluntarily chosen to publish our corporate sustainability report every two years as a tangible testament to our commitment to environmental, social, and economic issues. This practice, though not mandatory, is undertaken with conviction and reflects our ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.
At NUOVA SAIMPA, social and environmental sustainability has always been a core value. We initiated a collaboration with VAIA, an innovative startup with a social and environmental focus, inspired by the Vaia storm that devastated the Dolomites and parts of Europe in late October 2018. Through our involvement in the VAIA project, we actively contributed to the environmental reconstruction of the region, by planting 150 trees and providing financial support for research, awareness campaigns, and the cleaning of the Alpine glaciers.
Launched in October 2022 and completed in 2025, RIPLAS explored new possibilities for the circular economy of plastics used in household appliances, in collaboration with the Province of Trento, the University of Trento and other project partners. We are now analysing the data collected, which showed very positive results, to assess their introduction into production in the near future. The research focused on:
NUOVA SAIMPA SRL is the winner of the 2024 edition of the “CONAI Call for Ecodesign of Packaging in the Circular Economy”, thanks to the redesign of a packaging system for the transportation of knobs across various sectors. The original packaging consisted of an alternate layer housing made of cardboard and expanded PE sheets inside a corrugated box. The redesign focused on both the expanded PE trays and the boxes, promoting reuse between the company and its clients. Additionally, the cardboard and plastic layers were removed, resulting in a 40% reduction in tray weight.
4 Ecodesign Levels Activated Out of 8 Foreseen by the Call:
Reuse;
facilitation of recycling activities;
raw material savings;
simplification of packaging system.
A 291.28 kW photovoltaic system, installed on the roof of the building through a project co-financed by European funds of the Autonomous Province of Trento, contributes to the company’s energy needs. Estimated annual production is 325,000 kWh, with an estimated reduction of 108,000 kg of CO₂ per year.
These figures are the estimates associated with the system’s design, not a final account of company emissions.
