“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors;

we borrow it from our children.”

– Native American proverb

Since 2021 we have changed our approach: small everyday acts can make a difference. Market demanded this, but, above all, our children did.

We are a historic company now led by the third generation of a family that has always pursued significant goals. The strategy we have developed over the years has enabled 4 EMME to create a forward-looking vision centered on sustainability, which we recognize as a crucial factor in tackling today’s challenges.

Our strategy is driven by the ambition to help build a fairer and more inclusive world throughout the entire supply chain, while also safeguarding the environment we live in and creating opportunities for the future of the company.

Sustainability model

Our governance model, in line with the 3P strategy (People, Profit, Planet), combines financial performance with the enhancement of human and environmental resources.

• Enhancing business competitiveness by continuously refining internal processes, improving environmental performance, and optimizing costs.
• We provide carefully selected, high-quality products, ensuring customer satisfaction through a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. We address issues swiftly and respond promptly to our customers’ needs, fostering exclusive and lasting business relationships.
• Create an ideal work environment and promote professional growth by actively involving employees in the company’s processes.

Stravedamento

An evocative image, strictly related to our territory and to the concept of environmental sustainability is the vernacular word “Stravedamento”, an atmospheric phenomenon of extreme clarity where the horizon is visible up to the point where one can see the Dolomites watch over Venice, despite being 100 km far away. Venice and its mountains are bound in this shot, as they have been for centuries in history. The Alps and the Pre-Alps, where the wood for Venetian galleys was sourced, and the borders of the Serenissima extending to the Dolomites, make these lands inextricably linked.

However, the phenomenon of stravedamento is becoming increasingly difficult to capture, also due to pollution and smog; thus, for us, returning to see Monte Civetta watching over Palazzo Ducale must represent the goal, the ultimate aim of all the measures we adopt in our company and in our daily lives to protect the planet and build a better future.

PEOPLE, PROFIT, PLANET,

THE THREE PILLARS THAT GUIDE OUR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The triple-bottom-line concept that we pursue gives us the instruments to measure and monitor our performance from a financial, social and environmental point of view. Our goals are clear: social equity (People), environmental quality (Planet) and economic growth (Profit).
