SUSTAINABILITY
Aboca’s commitment
We adopt practices that take environmental and social considerations into account, and monitor the results of our actions. This is all part of a continuous improvement process that is consistent with the public benefit goals set out in our Benefit Corporation statute in accordance with Italian law.
We take concrete action every day, as described in our Biodiversity Strategy and in the Impact Report that we publish annually.
As part of our Benefit Corporation statute, we have included six public benefit goals, in addition to the traditional goal of generating profit, focusing on the following areas:
Our Impact Report
We measure our contribution to each of these goals every year by producing an Impact Report, which helps us define our annual improvement plan.
The Biodiversity Strategy
The Biodiversity Strategy is the document that sets out and defines Aboca’s actions and commitments regarding the protection and enhancement of biodiversity.
It is based on five fundamental pillars:
- Avoid the use of synthetic substances, to create formulations made from 100% natural ingredients and guarantee the biodegradability of our formulations.
- Reduce the environmental impact both during the farming phase through organic certification, and in the other phases of production of our formulations, in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001.
- Restore ecosystems, integrating agroforestry models and increasing the complexity and vitality of agroecosystems.
- Transform supply chains, by encouraging shared strategic principles with partners.
- Educate and promote a culture that raises awareness among communities, the public and health professionals of the profound connection between humans, the environment and health. This is achieved by organising and running publishing activities, cultural events, educational projects and scientific outreach, designed and organised in collaboration with the Aboca Museum and Aboca Edizioni.
To ensure the effectiveness of its strategy, Aboca uses an advanced monitoring system which employs scientific tools to measure biodiversity at various levels. This approach enables the company to assess the impact of its practices, collect data over time, and set annual targets. The results are reported annually in the Impact Report.
Aboca’s 2025–2030 Biodiversity Strategy was developed in collaboration with the National Biodiversity Future Center, a project funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU initiative.
