Sustainability is not
just a label
Many people confuse the question of sustainability with a superficial concern for the environment. But it is much more than this for us at etic.a. Our commitment as a Company is to create a positive transversal impact on society and the environment, as well as generating economic value.
To give value to this choice, since 2023 we have become a Benefit Company by formalizing within our statute 5 objectives of common benefit that guide all our strategies and corporate decisions.
Our path of real attention to sustainability policies in its three ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) dimensions finds form and concreteness in our Sustainability Report.
This document not only illustrates the main initiatives, results and challenges faced over last year, but also reflects our vision, our core values and our ongoing commitment to responsible, transparent and sustainable business management, capable of putting attention to the environment and people’s health and well-being at the center of our way of operating.

This is the sort of innovation we love: useful, simple, sustainable. In a word: ethical.
Our energy for everyone’s environment. We cover a large percentage, approximately 30% of our energy needs, with a state-of-the-art photovoltaic plant. Clean energy should not be a future dream, rather a present-day commitment.
