Colussi Group is dedicated to optimizing packaging, enhancing its recyclability, utilizing renewable and recycled resources, and developing innovative solutions.

Today, 99% of the packaging we use is designed to be recyclable at the end of its life. Whenever possible, for packaging that does not come into direct contact with food, we prioritize the use of recycled paper. In 2024, 68% of all the paper we used came from recycled sources.

With the aim of reducing our environmental impact, since 2021, we have analyzed the environmental performance of our products through LCA (life-cycle assessment), an internationally standardized method that quantifies the environmental impacts of a product throughout all phases of its life cycle, from raw material acquisition to post-consumer disposal.

The results provide a detailed view of the impact across various indicators – including CO₂ emissions, energy resource usage, water scarcity, and waste production – and offer valuable support for improving processes and products.
A total of 52 product references have been evaluated up to 2024.

With the aim of promoting sustainable tourism and transportation, raising awareness about a wellness-oriented lifestyle, and enhancing the inland areas of the country, Misura has chosen to contribute to the enhancement of the Appennino bike route, the largest bike route in our country. This route spans over 3,000 kilometers, crossing 14 regions from Liguria to Sicily, more than 300 municipalities, and 26 parks and protected areas.

In 2020, Misura funded 10 reforestation projects from North to South across 9 regions to green, restore, and support Italy: in Turin, Milan, Pordenone, Sant’Arcangelo di Romagna, Palo Laziale, Rome, the Vesuvius National Park, the Gargano National Park, and the Matera badlands. We selected areas that closely align with the needs of local communities, often in large and medium-sized towns, to create a significant network of territorial regeneration across the peninsula. In total, 13,400 trees were planted, absorbing 9,380 tons of CO₂ over their lifetime.

It is a commitment that does not end when they are planted: they are effective and lasting projects, which will be supported and managed in the coming years, capable of lasting over time. A small helping hand against the climate crisis.

In 2022, we launched “La Casa dei Fiori Colussi,” a new environmental initiative that established gardens in three Italian cities—Milan, Rome, and Bologna—to foster biodiversity and restore green areas. With the participation of 300 students from seven primary and secondary schools, accompanied by their teachers, oases were created with trees, shrubs, and plants such as brooms, lavender, strawberry trees, and myrtle, selected to attract and protect various pollinator species: bees, butterflies, and bumblebees. Each “House of Flowers” was inaugurated during a public event attended by students, teachers, local associations, and institutions.

Aware that an incalculable number of fishing nets are abandoned in the Mediterranean every day, posing enormous risks to the marine and underwater environment, Agnesi launched “Operazione Mare Libero“.  This project involves recovering fishing nets in a section of the sea that is part of both the UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve “Isole di Toscana” and the International Sanctuary for the Protection of Marine Mammals “Pelagos.” Established in 1999, this international zone protects 87,500 square kilometers of the Mediterranean, crucial for the conservation of these specially protected species

In 2024, Colussi strengthened its commitment to diversity and inclusion through dedicated activities and obtained certification in compliance with the UNI PdR 125 reference practice for gender equality. Issued on a voluntary basis through verification by an accredited third-party body, the gender equality certification represents an important recognition of the company’s commitment to promoting equal opportunities and creating an inclusive and respectful work environment.
