Sustainability Translation into Practice
Often defined as the right balance between the environment, equity, and economy, Sustainability is one of the key topics for these and forthcoming years. The EU Political path is steering the way to a more sustainable society through legislation such as Eu Green Deal, Taxonomy and Chemical Sustainability Reporting Directive etc… To ensure that disclosed data and information are transparent, reliable and verifiable, it is perceived the need to comply with recognized standards and verification by a third party (super partes) that gives greater authority to one’s statements or claims.
Vinavil will provide practical examples of its journey to sustainability and show its experience on the environmental pillar with ISCC PLUS certification, a voluntary scheme to certify sustainable content (recycled and bio-based materials) of its finished products.
Then we will illustrate our voluntary communication by means of another instrument ‘’the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology’’ for measuring environmental impact indicators.
We will provide an overview of the LCA technique as well as some examples. LCA results may be imported into Environmental Product Declaration to make the assessment transparent and certified.
Finally, we will explore a possible comparison of environmental indicators between bio and fossil products.
