The Burgo Group plant in Verzuolo (Cuneo) has obtained its EMASregistration from the Ecolabel and Ecoaudit board of the Italian Department for the Environment.
This is a very important result for this paper mill where the Group was founded more than a century ago.
On October 22nd, 2012, during renewal of the EMAS registration for the Company’s plants in Toscolano Maderno (Brescia) and Mantova, it was decided to extend the same certification to the Verzuolo site; the ruling is valid for all the facilities until April 22nd, 2015.
EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) is a system that companies and organisations sign up to voluntarily, undertaking to monitor and improve their environmental efficiency, and providing the control authority and local population a tool to assess their environmental impact.
EMAS registration is further confirmation of the Burgo Group’s continued commitment to environmental policies and sustainability. All the environmental data for the plants involved have been included in an official document, the Environmental Statement, which is assessed and endorsed by an authorised independent Inspector.
