• We design and coordinate innovative services both in terms of work organisation and in terms of equipment technology
• We design pollution prevention services in order to limit emergency repression as much as possible
• We aim for an obligation of result replacing the standard ‘obligation of means’.
• We envisage new technologies to be designed for the construction of equipment suitable at replacing the manual work of operators as much as possible, upgrading their tasks from workers to equipment technicians and drastically reducing the risk of accidents at work
• We launch the double challenge ‘INJURIES AND WORK IN ZERO-CONFINED ENVIRONMENTS’ in all our business services
• We bring together and coordinate companies with core activities that are complementary to each other, but always related to environmental protection, with identical technical capacity and identical quality standards to offer companies a service that can defeat the dualism between ‘industry business’ and ‘public health’.
• We support our client companies by providing consultancy services in the area of integrated corporate communication, in the management and promotion of national and international institutional relations, in the monitoring of Italian and European legislation in the environmental sector, in the representation of interests with public authorities and decision-makers, and in the definition of public image and brand reputation.
• We train young people interested in defending the environment without it entailing de-industrialisation and we are committed to defeating the theory of ‘happy degrowth’.
