BIOPAP® becomes BENEFIT Company
2024 begins with a decisive step towards complete Sustainability
We are thrilled to share with you important news: BIOPAP® is now officially a BENEFIT Company!
“With the transition to a Benefit Company, we want to contribute to the construction of a community oriented towards environmentally socially sustainable development. This reflects our long-term vision and commitment to generate value for the entire community, and foster a positive supply chain,” says Maria Teresa Brassiolo, Board Member, and Co-founder of BIOPAP®.
BIOPAP is recognized for producing sustainable, compostable, and biodegradable food containers with unique features of circularity and performance. Massimo Folador, CEO of Askesis Società Benefit Srl, who has accompanied BIOPAP® on this journey, comments: “BIOPAP® has been a Benefit Company since its inception, due to the ethical business choices and sustainability efforts made over the years. Today’s formal decision represents a natural progression, and above all a testimony to its community.”
The innovative legal instrument of a Benefit Company, provided by Italian legislation, involves an analysis of the company’s characteristic values, the definition of the Common Good, and a modification of the corporate statute with specific commitments regarding governance, purposes, and reporting.
“For these reasons, we have chosen the transformation into a Benefit Company. We believe that this is a strong and lasting commitment that best represents our business vision,” declares Filippo Rossi, Co-Founder, and Board Member.
BIOPAP® has always been committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of its activities through reduced resource consumption, zero CO2 emissions in its production process, zero waste, and the use of raw materials and energy exclusively from renewable sources. Similarly, it is socially active both internally and externally to promote local employment, the quality and safety of work environments, the exchange between schools and industrial activities, and the development of talents in young students.
“The transition to a Benefit Company is a natural step for BIOPAP® and aims to be an active testimony and an example to promote and rediscover the commitment that every business must have towards society and the environment. Thanks to all the members who have approved this path, to the Askesis team, and to all colleagues and collaborators who have actively participated in meetings, share, and animate this spirit every day,” concludes Michelangelo Anderlini President, and Co-founder.
Thank you for being a part of this important transition towards a more sustainable future.
