“We believe in a profound and structural change that involves companies, consumers and the entire society. Because each of us is, and must be, a protagonist”, he writes. Claudio Feltrinpresident of FederlegnoArredo in the letter to stakeholders that opens the Sustainability Report 2023 sharing with them the commitment and initiatives undertaken by the Federation on the issues of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
2023 – the document explains – was a year full of initiatives which have allowed the Federation to bring ESG issues into the discussion with companies. A challenging job made possible thanks also to the investments in terms of human capital formation of FederlegnoArredo for a total of 1,047 hours provided, corresponding to an average of 33 hours per employee. The Federation, in line with its strategy, has paid particular attention to training investment on sustainability issues not only through targeted and vertical interventions, but also through collective and transversal initiatives.
Efforts that make the structure’s know-how even more strategic on sustainability issues that impact and will impact the entire supply chain: fromEcodesign at the extended producer responsibilityfrom the enhancement of Made in Italy products with a view to a short supply chain, to the development of Certifications sector. To do this – we read in the Balance Sheet – in addition to the constant exchange of information with the associates, the webinar training method was used in a more than satisfactory manner. 36 webinars were organized for the associates, involving approximately 3000 participants from companies with very different characteristics, for a total of 59 hours of training provided.
“Unfortunately, being sustainable is not always an easily achievable goal for companies, in some cases due to complex regulations that become almost inapplicable making the commitment of companies vain – explains Claudio Feltrin -.
For this reason, it is becoming increasingly necessary to have asystem and supply chain action that interprets the vision of a sustainable sustainabilityof which as a Federation, we are the driving force and bearer of interests. Training within companies and in FederlegnoArredo is an indispensable tool for strengthening synergies with associated companies and accompanying them in the green transition process”.
