This inaugural Sustainability Report published by ABK Group highlights a growth strategy built on responsible innovation, environmental stewardship and a commitment to people. The Group\u2019s production model is increasingly geared towards resource circularity, minimising the environmental impact of its production processes and ensuring the highest standards of workplace safety.<\/p>\n

This sustainability journey has led to significant milestones, including the recovery of 100% of process water and 20% of production waste, the use of 30% certified renewable electricity, and a cogeneration plant that meets 95% of the power requirements of the facility in Solignano (MO).<\/p>\n

Since 2014, Eco-Body compounds have been introduced across select product lines. Containing at least 40% post-industrial recycled content, these Bureau Veritas-certified solutions contribute to LEED credits and reinforce the Group\u2019s commitment to sustainable construction.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the Group embarked on a process of research and innovation aimed at reducing emissions. This involved introducing a system that channels kiln exhaust gases at temperatures of more than 600\u00b0C to the spray dryer, resulting in a reduction in odour emissions of over 70%. To complement these efforts, all solvent-based adhesives have been replaced with water-based alternatives.<\/p>\n

As for its social commitment, the Group continues to invest in the safety and professional development of its workforce, fostering a safe and inclusive working environment. In 2024 alone, 2,165 hours of training were provided to employees across the organisation.<\/p>\n

Significant strides have also been made in governance with the adoption of the Code of Ethics and the launch of a whistleblowing platform, key tools for ensuring transparency, integrity and accountability in corporate management.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Sustainability Report marks the launch of a structured, long-term roadmap aligned with the 2030 Agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Looking ahead, ABK Group has already set itself new objectives for the future, including boosting renewable energy self-generation, expanding employee welfare policies and establishing a single headquarters, thereby confirming its role as a responsible, innovative leader in the ceramic industry.<\/p>\n
