Everything we do has an impact on the planet and on the people who call it “home”.

The author Jacopo Fo tells us about D’orica’s focus on the environment and how it has become a reference point as a sustainable business, contributing to a new paradigm of responsible progress, which has become more urgent than ever today.

D’orica is committed to ensuring that the gold it uses is of certified and traceable origin, guaranteeing that it does not derive from the exploitation of people and resources. D’orica uses energy from renewable sources and has progressively reduced its CO2 emissions over time. It uses biodegradable and recyclable materials and is working hard to reduce its plastic consumption. To all these conscious decisions we can add its efforts to raise awareness about recycling and saving water among those it works.

Over the years we have gone out from the company to meet the community. We have taken our vision of the world and doing business to Italy and abroad, presenting it at major universities and prestigious fairs focusing on the ecology of the future and sustainability. Our organisation has become a case study and a degree thesis subject for Italian and international students.

Establishing solid and transparent relations with local suppliers has enabled us to develop the economy and the local area. We have always upheld the importance of keeping the production chain in Italy to preserve the experience, expertise and peace of mind of those we work with. Contributing to our country’s growth does not mean looking purely to profit, but also educating the new generations in an ethical approach based on respect for people and the environment.

This is why we work with various local schools, introducing young students to tangible examples of corporate culture. We want to create a real link between education and business, a dialogue that explores both artistic and social/environmental issues.

Ever since D’orica was founded, all its decisions have been made to enhance and improve the lives of those who work with us. Being a B Corp-certified benefit corporation means thinking and acting on the basis of the idea that the business is a service to society, where profit objectives merge with aims for the common good.

Our company headquarters was founded no more than 20 km away from the homes of our collaborators in order to reduce commuting times and cut CO2 emissions. Our working hours have also been organised to ensure that our staff have time for themselves and their families: we start work at 7:45 a.m. and finish at 3:45 p.m., a solution that offers a great work-life balance. Always aware of the need to promote living with a low environmental impact, D’orica also makes
e-bikes available to all its employees free of charge.

The wellbeing of our employees has always been at the heart of every corporate initiative. This is why D’orica has implemented a series of reward incentives that operate on several levels: financial, educational and job-related. The aim is to ensure our employees have everything they need to express their talent to the best of their ability on a daily basis.

We place particular emphasis on tidiness and cleanliness in the offices and workshop area. The entire building is fitted with a filter system that ensures constant air exchange and healthy working conditions as a result. We have also installed acoustic insulation systems in the machinery and sound-absorbing panels to reduce noise levels further still, taking them to well below maximum permitted levels. Thanks to these and other measures, D’orica guarantees a comfortable environment, where its staff can work in peace, fostering good working relationships, teamwork and personal achievement.
