During 2023, the commitment to sustainability was strengthened by promoting environmental measures and innovation in its coating solutions.
In a world increasingly aware of the environmental impact of human activities, companies are taking responsibility for adopting sustainable practices. Roberlo, a leader in the coatings and paints industry, is no exception. With a firm commitment to sustainability, the company has implemented a series of key initiatives that demonstrate its dedication to caring for the environment, people’s health, and corporate social responsibility.
One of the cornerstones of Roberlo's approach to sustainability is its ISO 14001 environmental management certification. This international standard sets the requirements for an effective environmental management system, ensuring that the company operates responsibly, minimizes its environmental impact, and complies with applicable environmental regulations.
Additionally, Roberlo has managed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to the previous year, thanks to the fact that 100% of the energy it uses comes from renewable sources. This measure not only reduces the company's carbon footprint but also contributes to the global push towards a cleaner and more sustainable future.
Within Roberlo's philosophy, the concept and progress towards a circular economy hold significant importance. So much so that in 2023, Roberlo managed to recover 92% of the waste it generated, either by reintroducing it back into the production process or by recovering it externally for use as new raw material in other external production processes.
Furthermore, Roberlo aims to obtain the Ecovadis certification in the very near future. Ecovadis is a globally recognized sustainability rating platform that evaluates companies’ environmental, social, and ethical performance. This certification will be an additional testament to Roberlo's commitment to sustainability and its position as a referent in the industry.
In 2023, the garden surrounding Roberlo's headquarters was also remodeled, replacing the grass with Mediterranean trees and plants adapted to the climate. This action, along with the implementation of a rainwater recovery system, has allowed for a substantial reduction in water consumption for this activity.
In line with its sustainable approach, Roberlo offers a wide range of products, including water-based products and products with low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), such as the Blucrom water-based system or the Disolac Water Based industrial coatings system. These products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality and performance while minimizing their environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from production to final use, as well as ensuring the health and safety of the people working with these products.
In summary, Roberlo is proving to be a pioneer in integrating sustainable practices into its business. From obtaining environmental certifications to reducing emissions and exclusively using renewable energy, the company is paving the way towards a greener and more sustainable future in the coatings and paints industry.
