The results achieved
Responsible energy management
We have launched a plan to improve the Company’s consumption efficiency and energy supply from renewable sources. Thanks to the planned interventions, over the course of 1 year we will avoid emissions equivalent to 15,740 planted trees.
Energy is a precious element that must be used with a great deal of care.
For this very reason, in 2021 we installed a photovoltaic system at our headquarters in Gallarate, which allows us to reduce CO2 emissions and produce energy for self-consumption.
Photovoltaic Production Monitoring
We have completed the full relamping of our headquarters and stores, which involved the replacement of all lighting fixtures with the LED technology. In addition, other improvements have been carried out at our headquarters: installation of protective films on windows; sensors for automatic light management; innovative free cooling system. We have also installed the first two charging stations for electric cars and our goal is to electrify the company fleet.
Retex.green
A concrete commitment to the circular economy
We are part of Retex.Green, the reference consortium of producers and for producers in the textile and fashion world. Retex.Green aims to anticipate future trends in regulations on recycling and offers an operational tool to the supply chain.
Promotion of sustainable best practices
Retex.Green is committed to scalable and measurable sustainability, supports companies in eco-design, aims to increase reuse and recycling through research and innovation, and adopts rigorous reporting models inspired by maximum transparency.
Protection of the brand
Retex.Green has chosen not to rely on in-house recycling operators but, rather, to collaborate with selected operators in the field, with the aim of guaranteeing lawfulness, traceability and brand protection.
The strategy in line with the SDGs
Territory and biodiversity protection
With more than 180 projects undertaken, we at Yamamay are at the forefront of efforts on raising awareness about respecting and protecting the marine ecosystem. Since 2018 – the year it was founded – we have been collaborating with the One Ocean Foundation (OOF), with the aim of promoting a better knowledge of marine biodiversity and of the blue economy.
M.A.R.E. Project
A citizen science program designed aimed at promoting scientific dissemination and research on the marine environment.
Dissemination of a sustainable environmental culture
At Yamamay, we invest resources and energy to develop an environmental culture aimed at achieving the goals and targets of the UN 2030 Agenda.
RS21 CUP YAMAMAY
A project focused on sustainability, which Yamamay has joined as main partner for the RS21 sailing class.
Sustainable stores
We have made the conscious decision to take action to reduce the environmental impact by designing sustainable stores. From furniture to lighting, from the use of energy to the packaging of our products, up to the delivery of goods and the disposal of waste: everything is the result of continuous research aimed at combining sustainability and modernity.
New sustainable stores
In Siena and Venice, the first two stores designed to minimise the environmental impact.
Sustainable packaging
Recently, we have taken many actions to help reduce the amount of packaging for each individual product, while increasing the percentage of recycled materials used.
Reduce and recycle
The activities undertaken to modify packaging and make it greener and more sustainable.
