OUR GREEN EXPERIENCE
Change and evolution have always been part of Aristoncavi’s journey: we’ve developed new products, upgraded our working tools, expanded our horizons, and transformed our market approach.
We’ve now chosen to take a sustainable turn, embracing a project that involves each of us personally.
With the Our Green Experience initiative, we are opening another exciting chapter in this story.
We protect WATER by reducing consumption and promoting recycling and reuse.
We care for the AIR by monitoring and cutting emissions.
We safeguard the EARTH by minimizing waste, recovering and recycling materials, and using renewable energy sources.
TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE
Join movements and awareness campaigns, report environmental issues to local authorities, and demand action from those in charge. Your voice is a powerful tool — using it can truly make a difference.
Eating less meat and dairy isn’t just a healthy choice — it also helps reduce the environmental impact of intensive livestock farming, which alone accounts for 14% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
Whether for work or vacation, consider the environmental impact of your next trip. Planes are highly polluting, and often you can choose more eco-friendly alternatives like trains.
Do you really need to use your car every time? Many trips can be done on foot, by bike, or using public transport. If driving is unavoidable, opt for eco-friendly models like electric or hybrid vehicles.
There are many small habits that can help reduce energy consumption at home: wear an extra layer and lower the heating by a couple of degrees, turn off lights and standby electronics when not in use, close the tap while brushing your teeth, and choose energy-efficient appliances.
You can join tree-planting campaigns that respect biodiversity and local ecosystems, green your garden or balcony, protect parks and natural areas in your community, and take care of shared green spaces.
When shopping, choose to support companies and brands that follow sustainable practices. Learn about their programs and product origins and shop consciously. Every action you take can have a big impact.
Every item you use leaves a carbon footprint. Avoid single-use products, buy second-hand, reuse what you can, repair broken items, donate what you no longer need, avoid food waste, and steer clear of brands that use excessive packaging and plastic.
Talk to friends and family about your sustainable choices, raise awareness about environmental issues, and highlight the benefits and savings involved. Each of us can amplify our impact and make a real difference.

A monthly allowance is provided to recognize the skills and flexibility of each operator who is able to manage multiple production lines or machines, or perform various support tasks within the production process.
The past few challenging years have had a significant impact on people’s mental well-being, especially among adolescents. Always attentive to these issues and closely connected to the local community, the company has chosen to support an important initiative by the ULSS 8 Health Authority: “Ciak si gira!”, a project aimed at adolescents experiencing psychological distress.
Thanks to our support, ULSS 8 offers free counseling to parents who are struggling with managing their children and provides guidance on possible support pathways, including reserved access to the “Ciak si gira!” program.
To request counseling, parents can email Dr. Elena Finotti at elena.finotti@aulss8.veneto.it, using the subject line: “Ciak si gira! – parents”.
For any needs related to employment management, the Human Resources office is available to all employees every Tuesday from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM, with open access at the infirmary room.
