Ramet

At a local level, ALFA ACCIAI is a founder member of RAMET, a consortium that conducts environmental research for metallurgy. Set up by the Brescian Industrialist Association, it presented a programme in June 2011 to implement a scheme of voluntary improvement of environmental performance for businesses. Achieving the planned projects immediately, from January 2012 Alfa Acciai has already ensured compliance with the new limit values coming from the European and national legislation, which expires only in 2016.
RAMET today brings together no less than 22 Brescia-based metallurgical companies, the aim being to study and monitor the impacts that these production processes have on the workplace and the surrounding environment. The guidelines of the Consortium cover research, communication and transparency.

CO.DI.SA

Since 2011 Alfa Acciai has collaborated with a group of local residents, called CO.DI.SA, an Health & Environment Committee.
Periodic meetings are held to inform the local residents and share with them improvement projects for the environment and production that the company has put in place or intends to develop.
The meetings allow confrontation and continuous growth on both sides and give the possibility to the citizens to better understand the world of production and interact directly with the company.
