Transport for supplying finished product

Primary transport: by sea

• Total CO2 emissions per year by sea: 128 t (2017)
• CO2 transport China-Italy by sea: 24 g/pcs (2017)
• 70%of Atlantis transportation is by sea with sustainable companies (members of the Clean Cargo™ Working Group, an initiative involving leading B2B brands, cargo ships and shipping agents dedicated to reducing the environmental impacts of global goods transport and promoting responsible shipping. Today, CCWG instruments represent the sector standard for measuring and reporting the environmental CO2 emission performance of shipping companies).

• Total CO2 emissions per year air transport: 580 t
• CO2 transport China-Italy by air: 645 g/pcs (2017)

• To increase to 80% the use of shipments by sea with sustainable companies, with the objective of reducing CO2 emissions by a further 18% by 2020 (already 43% lower than 2007)
• To optimise transport by sea by implementing a goods transport requirement calculation; this will allow production of Atlantis goods to be planned from the moment the order is placed and scheduling of their shipment in full containers, with the aim of reducing LCL departures by 40%
• To favour imports by sea rather than by air to reduce CO2 emissions

• To quantify CO2 emissions per unit
• To implement by 31/12/2019 at least a procedure to contribute to compensating for the emissions generated directly and/or indirectly, by choosing partners offering services with this objective);

• Introduction of recycled materials to gradually replace the plastic bags used to pack the caps
• Introduction of ecological polypropylene adhesive tape to gradually replace the type used at present
• Design of completely recyclable packaging

• To create a single information document for suppliers (Code of Conduct) in which the existing Ethical and Quality guidelines are supplemented by obligatory guidelines covering social performance
• To supplement the existing audit programme aimed at checking that Atlantis suppliers respect the ethical, social and quality guidelines, with verification of the environmental performance of their production facilities
• To draw up a classification of suppliers according to the measurements and data collected with the aim of incentivising mutual improvement and favouring Atlantis partnerships with suppliers with a "green light" (goal to be achieved for all suppliers).

• Greater awareness among suppliers of the existing ethical and social performance, incorporated in a new, more complete and binding Code of Conduct for Suppliers
• New collection of data and Supplier Audits for a more serious verification of respect for Atlantis guidelines
• To incentivise mutual improvement and favour Atlantis partnerships with suppliers with a high classification of positive conduct (goal to be achieved for all suppliers).

• Preparation of a Code of Conduct for Customers to consolidate the relationship through a shared process to construct a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable supply chain
• Collection of data and indexes of customer satisfaction, with particular attention to ethical, social and environmental issues, in order to promote mutual improvement

• Creation of a space for young students from secondary schools and universities to develop projects and collaborations, including placements, dual learning experiences, workshops, these and similar activities
• realisation of a hackathon in the new space made available to the young students to increase and reinforce synergy between the company and the young people
• support for a local association with positive effects in terms of environmental impact.

• ENERGY-SAVING POLICIES
  To reduce consumption, but above all, waste of energy at the Atlantis headquarters, measures have been implemented to reduce the energy requirement, such as automatically turning off computers after a certain time and automatic programming of heating and air conditioning to maintain constant temperatures in the rooms and thus avoid peaks of consumption.
  A fundamental role is played by responsibilization of the Atlantis team and their active collaboration through shared good practices.
  
  
• EMPLOYEES' KITCHEN AND REST AREA
  In order to make the time spent on the work premises more comfortable, we have provided a rest area for the team, complete with kitchen, lounge and garden, available for employees for the team's lunch breaks, aperitifs and dinners.
  We have decided to expand the existing rest area further and also to create a fitness area.
  In Atlantis, we are convinced that the well-being of each individual is fundamental to work well as a team and also to share moments of conviviality.
  
  
• PAPER CONSUMPTION REDUCTION POLICIES
  It has been calculated that a medium-sized tree is equivalent to about 12,000 sheets of paper.
  So, reducing paper consumption automatically mean saving more trees, this is a well-known fact.
  But there is more – the mountain of paper consumed in Italian offices creates 4 million t of CO2.
  So just eliminating the printing of one sheet in five would reduce pollutant emissions by about 900 million.
  Atlantis is very sensitive to this theme. To reduce paper consumption, we have analysed which uses of printed documents could be avoided, as not required for archiving.
  We have noted that the majority of "wasted" printouts occur when data must be compared and checked.
  To reduce this use, we have installed two monitors on all processors in order to limit the need to print out documentation in support of the activities carried out, facilitating employees' work.
  In addition, Atlantis has a high level of digitalisation, with the adoption of software enabling paper to be replaced by an electronic system.
  We are also working on introducing a process of electronic invoicing in order to eliminate the paper archive, enabling us to come into line with ministerial directives and other countries in the world, reducing the use of paper and company space.
  
  
• WASTE SEPARATION AND RECYCLING AREA
  We have created waste separation and recycling areas on our premises and recycling is a daily commitment for everyone working at Atlantis.
