We are proud to share our progress and initiatives aimed at promoting environmental, social and economic sustainability in the tanning sector, as defined by our 2023 Sustainability Report. Superior, a leader in the tanning industry, is committed to reduce the environmental impact of its operations and promoting sustainable practices throughout the value chain. We believe that sustainability is not only a responsibility, but also an opportunity to innovate and continuously improve. Our goal remains to offer products that meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability, meeting the needs of our customers and the global market.
Environmental, economic and social sustainability: this is the direction Superior is taking today. After meticulous assessments and evaluations of past work, we identified what needed to improve and put the wheels in motion.
We focused in particular on:
Compliance with environmental and safety laws
Safety all around, final consumer included
Constant monitoring of economic, social and environmental impact
Research and best practice
Research and innovation to achieve sustainability, without ever compromising on product quality.
In collaboration with the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.
We requested a feasibility study to reduce:
We assessed our greenhouse gas emissions at both company-level and product-level and compared them with those of other tanneries.
In collaboration with Repower.
We put measures in place to manage electricity in the best possible way, avoiding any waste.
According to a study by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, the transition to renewable sources alone has allowed us to safeguard about 10,000 m2 of polar icecap.
