On one hand, renewable materials that derive from abundant,
regenerating resources include wood, paper, cardboard and glass.
On the other, non-renewable materials that do not regenerate
include aluminium, brass, iron, plastics, paint and others.
Some of the non-renewable materials used include electronic
components with respect to which, Artemide complies with
the European legislation commonly known as the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). The directive imposes
restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances. Artemide,
upstream of its supply chain, requires suppliers to complete
a questionnaire regarding their compliance with RoHS. The
questionnaire also allows Artemide to map the certifications and
controls adopted by the supplier, the location of the registered
office and operating sites and the type of main production
activity. The Group has always paid great attention to the choice
of materials. An example of its respect for the environment is
also manifested by the replacement of lamp instruction booklets
and office paper with 100% recycled paper with Nordic Swan
and Blue Angel certifications, from 2020 onwards. For all of its
printed communication tools, Artemide uses only FSC (Forest
Stewardship Council) certified paper.
With respect to purchasing activities, broken down by geographical
area, these remain in line with those made in 2019. Over 77.5%
of purchases originate from Italy and 17.4% from the Rest of
Europe, which includes Germany, France, Hungary and 12 other
European Union countries, while approximately 5% of purchases
derive from Non-European Union regions, which include the
United States, Switzerland, China and Taiwan.
