Environment

"In running its operations the Pirelli Group is mindful of the Environment and public health. A key consideration in investment and business decisions is environmental sustainability, with the Group supporting eco-compatible growth, not least through the adoption of special technologies and production methods (where this is operationally feasible and economically viable) that allow for the reduction of the environmental impact of Group operations, in some cases even below statutory limits.
Pirelli has adopted certified Environmental Management Systems to control its operations, chooses production methods and technologies that reduce waste and conserve natural resources, and assesses the indirect and direct environmental impact of its products and services. The Group works alongside leading national and international organizations to promote environmental sustainability both on a local and a global scale."

Continuous research to improve performance is also based on the ever-more detailed and extensive awareness of the interactions between Group activities and the environment, without being limited to those it directly operates but by expanding the scope of analysis to all phases of the life cycle of Pirelli products.

This is the only approach that can guarantee that nothing is left to chance, that strategic choices are managed knowingly and effectively by decision-making processes taking into account environmental variables.

The Company sums all this up with the concept of “Life Cycle Thinking”: developing products, while thinking about the interactions with the environment stemming from their production, use and end of life.

This approach, which is key to guaranteeing full environmental sustainability, is supported by scientifically recognized tools that can improve strategic decisions as objectively as possible, by using the results of assessment of environmental impact throughout the product life cycle ( Life Cycle Assessment).
