SUSTAINABILITY
TOGETHER TOWARDS THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)
It is becoming increasingly clear that a company’s reliability, competitiveness, and solidity can no longer be measured solely in financial and economic terms. The well-being of workers, the circularity of processes, transparency and responsibility to all stakeholders have become the true indicators of a company’s sustainability and what all of us are expected to contribute to.
OUR CONCEPT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
THE FOUR PILLARS.
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
A WORLD OF SERVICES FOR OUR PEOPLE
The Lucchini RS Group’s people programme is aimed at pursuing physical, mental and emotional well-being, promoting team spirit and stimulating personal enrichment. We are part of the Global Project “WHP – Health Promotion in the Workplace”, promoting healthy lifestyle and work life balance.
CULTURE, SKILLS & TRAINING
Awareness of the key role played by workplace learning and the constant need to promote and attract knowledge and skills are the reasons why we created the Lucchini RS Academy. Our training programs start at school and focus on helping young people develop. Our aim is to develop people skills, focusing on passion, talent, and creativity.
REPUTATION & RELIABILITY
CUSTOMER SUCCESS ORIENTATION
PRODUCT AND SERVICE QUALITY
EFFICENCY AND SAFETY OF PROCESSES
CONFORMITY OF SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS
PROMPT, ACCURATE COMMUNICATIONS AND REPLIES
RELIABILITY WITH REGARDS TO DELIVERY TIMES
INNOVATIVE, EFFECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS
RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Relations with our supply chain are predicated on transparency, cooperation, and mutual advantage to constantly improve what we offer our customers. The quality and reliability of what we supply is of great importance to us: high standards of materials and services, regularity, and continuous procurement.
GREEN ID
A MILE CLOSER TO ZERO-EMISSIONS
Green ID is the innovative solution to provide the real carbon footprint of our products “from cradle to cradle”.
Through a science-based tool that meets international recognised standard, Lucchini RS is able to monitor, quantify, report the emissions actually associated with its products. Putting the real CO2 impact of our products and components in numbers easy to understand allows us to act upon our choices, adjust and accelerate environmental initiatives, playing a concrete role to protect and save our environment.
OUR APPROACH TO CIRCULAR ECONOMY
40% ELECTRICITY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES
We use renewable energy sources and recover energy dispersed in manufacturing processes, where possible. Furthermore, we support the planning and purchase of energetically efficient products and services, and we strive to invest in sustainable energy as much as possible.
88% OF RAW MATERIAL FROM RECYCLING
The main material used in the production process is scrap iron, some of which we buy from authorised recycling plants, and some of which we recover internally, both from by-products and from worn railway wheels that arrive as waste at our plant.
3828 TON CO2 AVOIDED
We adopt very precise procedures, both in terms of monitoring and curbing pollutants and we constantly invest in equipping the company with the best, most advanced technical solutions available (plant engineering, operational, control) to contain atmospheric emissions. We have installed meters to constantly measure dust, oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations, flowmeters and alarm and early-alarm control devices allowing us to act promptly.
305.000 M3 OF RAINWATER HARVESTED, TREATED AND RETURNED TO NATURE
The water we use in the production cycle is largely drawn from the lake and stored in raised tanks before being distributed to the production lines through an extensive network of piping. Once used, the water is treated and almost entirely returned to the lake.

INNOVATION AND DIGITALIZATION
In Lucchini RS, innovation and digitalisation are “tools” forming part of a broader vision which has Lean culture as its benchmark whilst the goal is to increasingly meets the expectations of our stakeholders in a continuous improvement process.
What counts is what we do, why we decided to do it and how.
HIGH-IMPACT INNOVATION
Innovating means developing solutions to serve our customers, meeting new market needs, guaranteeing safety and improvements to the durability of our products, reduced environmental impact and being financial sustainable.
