Sustainability

For Giacomini, doing business also means to think about people’s wellbeing and protect the environment, because we feel responsible for every aspect affected by our activities and we care about the future.

Alberto Giacomini, the founder of our Group, used to say: “The people that work for me are my greatest asset”. These words have always been reflected by real actions that prove his honesty.

 

Giacomini Sustainability Report

It is with great pride that Valentina Giacomini – CEO – announces the publication of Giacomini S.p.A.’s first Sustainability Report, prepared on a voluntary basis. This milestone marks a decisive step forward in our journey towards greater awareness and responsibility, not only as a company but as a community looking to the future with courage and transparency.

Inspired by water and by the imagination of children, we tell the story of a commitment that looks to the future with transparency and responsibility.
This document is not just a reporting exercise on environmental, social, and governance topics: it is a shared narrative, inviting us to pause, observe what we have built, and reflect on the path ahead.

Over 70 years of responsible innovation
For more than seventy years, Giacomini has been a key player in the HVAC and plumbing industry. Today, more than ever, we are aware that our responsibility goes beyond the quality of our products.
We have developed solutions aimed at energy efficiency, waste reduction, and the intelligent use of resources, with a tangible impact on reducing CO₂ and NOx emissions. In our plants, we recycle 100% of brass scrap, gradually reduce the use of oil-based emulsions, and optimize alloy separation to achieve more sustainable production.

Water at the heart of our commitment
An element that has always been part of Giacomini’s story, water remains our source of inspiration. Not only is it at the core of our products, designed to promote its responsible and efficient use in buildings, but also of the project “A Presence Among the Waves”, which provides the guiding thread to narrate this long-standing and ongoing commitment.

People, the beating heart of our company
We believe that sustainability is, above all, a commitment to people.
In 2024, 98% of our employees were on permanent contracts: a figure that reflects our determination to build solid, long-lasting relationships. We invest in training, safety, well-being, and work-life balance, convinced that a strong corporate culture is built on mutual trust. Among the most significant initiatives, we highlight our company kindergarten, active for more than 20 years in San Maurizio d’Opaglio: not just a service for employees, but an investment in the future, supporting the growth of new generations.

A promise for the future
This first Sustainability Report represents both a starting point and a promise: to build, over time, an approach increasingly consistent with our way of doing business and with the expectations of our stakeholders.

We thank everyone who supports us along this journey: together, step by step, we want to keep improving the world, “one piece at a time.”

What we do for people

We strive to empower and support our valued employees in every aspect of their lives, both professional and private. We repay their devotion, responsibility and team spirit with dedicated initiatives to promote their personal and professional growth.

That is why we have offered our employees controlled-rent lodgings since the ‘60s, and for over two decades we have provided their children a Company Daycare Nursery-School designed on a relational architectonic model where shapes and spaces support learning, individual development and socialization among children.

Our individual-oriented approach is also mirrored by a number of activities aimed at protecting our employees and collaborators’ psychic and physic wellbeing:

  • psychological support to deal with the discomfort caused by the pandemic;
  • a physiotherapist that performs therapies and recommends the best posture for work activities;
  • professional and specialization training programs;
  • mindfulness collective meetings to share work experiences, feelings, fatigue and goals;
  • contests (such as the “Fabbrica delle idee”) aimed at stimulating and valorizing our workers’ improvement suggestions;
  • projects dedicated to teenagers and young people to promote their introduction in the work sector, in close collaboration with schools.

Our contribution to the environment

The deep bond with our territory is the foundation of our efforts to protect the environment through:

  • a responsible use of energy and environmental resources;
  • great care in the way we use raw materials, constantly monitoring atmosphere emissions, water drains and industrial waste;
  • electricity and natural gas are sourced from a local consortium we are associated to, together with several local companies, allowing us to optimize our negotiating power;
  • preferential use of clean energy sources, like the 7.000 m2 photovoltaic field on our production plant roof that provides electric energy to our headquarters of San Maurizio d’Opaglio;
  • the installation of geothermal and solar thermal HVAC systems in certain production divisions, housed in buildings with a low environmental impact.

Our care in terms of quality, environment, health and workplace safety, along with our vocation for constant improvement, is also proven by our certifications UNI EN ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
