In this context, the environment plays an important role. PRT has defined specific objectives and actions for the two relevant material topics: The EcoVadis Gold recognition, achieved for the third consecutive year, further strengthens the credibility of our approach and places us among the most virtuous companies globally. 1 - Certifications and management systems PRT S.p.A. and PRT Visual have obtained environmental certifications that extensively cover processes, sites and the materials used. In particular: ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management systems (PRT S.p.A. and PRT Visual) ISO 50001:2018 for the energy management system (PRT S.p.A.) FSC® and PEFC Certifications for the use of raw materials sourced from sustainable forest supply chains (PRT S.p.A. and PRT France) Eco-print© for reducing the environmental impact of printing processes, specifically focused on monitoring production activities (PRT S.p.A.) 2 - Responsible use of resources Purchasing FSC® and PEFC certified paper represents a concrete commitment to safeguarding and regenerating forests, contributing to a virtuous cycle of responsible use of natural resources. The adoption of the Eco-print© certification in 2023 further strengthened this journey by introducing a detailed assessment of emissions, consumption and waste management through a continuous improvement approach. 3 - Energy efficiency and climate action Energy efficiency is a key lever within PRT’s environmental management, as demonstrated by ISO 50001:2018 certification, which supports the Company in monitoring and improving energy performance. In 2022, PRT S.p.A. achieved a significant milestone by sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable sources. However, in 2023, a change of supplier made it impossible to maintain this choice. Looking ahead, the Group aims to resume the purchase of clean energy and progressively increase the share of renewable energy used. This commitment is also reflected in the definition of PRT S.p.A.’s Climate Strategy in 2024. Their management is based on three key pillars: Energy consumption and climate action Materials circularity and biodiversity conservation These certifications, already referenced in the previous section, confirm the robustness of our management system and our commitment to continuously monitoring impacts across the entire production cycle, from raw materials to production sites and logistics processes.
