Sustainability
We work to keep the economy moving in a virtuous way
We support companies in managing their waste, transforming it into new resources for the European production system
Our goal is clear: to foster the growth of the countries where we operate, without harming the environment or the communities that host us.
We aim to be a benchmark for the circular economy at a European level, accelerating the transition toward a model where waste becomes new raw material for industry. Our strength lies in the values that guide us and in one strong belief: a cleaner and fairer future, where everything is recovered, is possible — and we are building it day by day.

Our ESG strategy is built on four fundamental pillars, which together cover 10 objectives of the 2030 Agenda. This is how we believe we can create the most significant impact.
Product Innovation
Itelyum is at the forefront of product innovation, investing to ensure the quality, reliability, and safety of regenerated materials. We measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain, with particular attention to Scope 3, Life Cycle Assessment, and the Carbon Footprint of our products.
Decarbonization of Processes and Products
Decarbonization is at the core of our commitment. Our strategy is guided by circular economy principles, focusing on diversification, research and development, and rigorous certifications. We implement efficient technologies and processes to minimize our environmental impact and adopt certified management systems to ensure compliance with environmental and safety standards.
Strengthening ESG Governance
We adopt high standards of transparency and accountability, promoting ethical and sustainable practices starting from our business decisions. Carefully and strategically managing all corporate risks and responsibilities is essential to meet the expectations of our clients, investors, employees, regulators, communities, and all stakeholders. Their expectations—especially regarding sustainability and the circular economy—are increasingly aligned with our approach.
People and Supply Chain Empowerment
Our human capital is our greatest strength. We promote an inclusive, fair, and diverse work environment, and we collaborate with suppliers to ensure a sustainable and responsible supply chain.
