Tognana Porcellane S.p.A., as we know it today, was founded in 1946, moving rapidly from the production of majolica to porcelain, using traditional methods of firing, sintering and vitrification. Over time, it became one of Italy's leading manufacturers of high-quality porcelain tableware, and today its brand is an undisputed leader in the market.
Tognana has always focused not only on production efficiency but also on social commitment, also promoting innovations in harmony with sustainability. In line with this commitment, it chose to continue its path with the development of a GHG inventory for the organization, meeting the requirements of ISO 14064-1.
After verification by a third party, the certificate was issued by SGS, allowing Tognana Porcellane S.p.A. to register in Carbon Footprint Italy. Measuring its corporate emissions and obtaining the CFO (Carbon Footprint of Organization) label is a key step toward greater awareness of the company's environmental impact, as well as a valuable opportunity to take concrete action to reduce it.
Sutter Industries S.p.A., a company that has been developing cleaning, care and disinfection products for five generations, has registered 11 products in CFI.
We present one of the 11 registered products: RUBY EASY ECOLABEL ML 750X6, a super concentrated multipurpose detergent for the daily cleaning of furnishings such as glass, mirrors, washable surfaces, etc... The product is part of the Zero-Natural Force line, which envisages the use of raw materials of vegetable origin that guarantee the product's greater biodegradability.
In this context, the company conducted a quantification of the carbon footprint of its products and chose to register them in Carbon Footprint Italy, reaffirming its strong commitment to clear and transparent communication.
On Monday, Novembre the 18th, at COP29 in Baku, Kitech-KNCPC (IPEF manager) Director Sung Duk Kim and Carbon Footprint Italy (CFI) Director Daniele Pernigotti signed the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between the Korean programme IPEF and Carbon Footprint Italy.
This signature will allow products already registered in one of the two programs to access the other country's program through a simple administrative step, without the need to duplicate verification activities.
We are very pleased with this milestone, proof of a great collaboration, and we also take this opportunity to emphasize that the Korean company CLO and the Italian company Fimap SpA (already a member of CFI), will be the first to obtain the double recognition.
Tuesday 24th September 2024 saw the third in a series of meetings that Carbon Footprint Italy is organising, in collaboration with the companies registered in the programme.
The event took place at the new headquarters of Zordan, a leading company in the creation of sartorial retail spaces for luxury brands.
For the registered companies that participated, it was an opportunity to reaffirm their willingness to collaborate by undertaking common activities, with the aim of narrating and improving their own carbon management path.
The second part of the day was dedicated to a moment of sharing, with customers and suppliers of Zordan and the participating companies, the European scenario and the various decarbonisation activities of some CFI members.
The collaboration between Carbon Footprint Italy (CFI) and the Korean carbon footprint programme IPEF, managed by KNPC/KITECH, for the achievement of the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) continues.
In July 2024, Daniele Pernigotti, Director of Carbon Footprint Italy, flew to Korea for the signing of the new Memorandum of Understanding, which changes from ‘Basic’ to ‘Advanced’.
The programmes thus commit to work together to adopt common rules for organisations or products applicable to each programme.
This occasion further underlines the strong cohesion between the two programmes and is a new step towards the Mutual Recognition Agreement.
