Sustainability

It is with great pride that we present Flamma's first Smart Sustainability Report. This document represents an important milestone in our growth path, which today can no longer be separated from a careful assessment of our impact on society, local communities and the environment.

As a family business that has existed for three generations, we are aware of our role in contributing to the well-being of the people and the territory in which we operate.

Flamma was founded in the early 1950s by my father, a medical man with a more social than commercial vision. His dream of using amino acids to fight world hunger was clearly unrealizable, but the basic values on which he founded the company - respect, honesty and concern for others - have remained firmly at the heart of everything we do.

In my 46 years at Flamma, I have had the privilege of guiding the company through its evolution in a world that has changed and is still changing at a very high speed, especially in the areas of technology, quality, safety and the environment.

It has been an exciting and thrilling journey, through challenges, fears, falls, successes in which we have nevertheless kept our identity intact. Today, we are different in size, organization, technological and industrial capabilities, and financial solidity, but we have maintained our original values, the great attention to the human aspect of our business. We have grown together with our employees, their families and the communities that surround us. Today Flamma is at the side of about a thousand families and this, for me, is a reason for great satisfaction.

Not only for them, but for everyone, we must resolutely face the new, important challenge of more sustainable growth. We must go beyond mere compliance with environmental regulations and start rethinking production not only in terms of quality and safety but also on the basis of the impact on the environment and society. It will be a complex and difficult challenge, a long time, many resources to devote to it, but we cannot lose it because we have our values, the desire to innovate and the ability to make the best use of technology with us.

Fortunately, the world of Life Sciences, where Flamma operates, is by vocation geared towards the wellbeing and health of people and is therefore united and determined to meet this challenge. We will make our contribution, working with passion and dedication to grow, not only economically, but also as a responsible company, capable of offering wellbeing to people and respecting the environment in which we operate.

I hope this report will provide a clear view of our efforts and future goals. Thank you for your interest and support.
