IMAGING A GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Respect for the environment, social well-being e optimal business management processes are the focuses on which companies are concentrating in order to build an innovative future in relationship and coexistence with the ecosystem, without giving up profit.
Gilardoni presents the second Sustainability Report for the year 2022, prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI updated to 2021), with which it is able to report on its achievements in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) field and the commitments it carries out every day for the creation of a green and sustainable future.
Despite the difficulties (War, energy crisis and raw materials crisis) , Gilardoni has once again proved to be an attentive and respectful company towards the issues dealt with in the ESG field, keeping them as primary in the implementation of its strategic and production choices – aware of the fact that this attention is not only a cost but, in the medium to long term, it is still a benefit both for the community and for the company itself.
GILARDONI'S OBJECTIVES
In addition, Gilardoni is committed to improving the evaluation of the carbonfoot print, also estimating the indirect emissions of Scope 2 and the emissions avoided thanks to the production of electricity from the photovoltaic system.
Beyond the environmental sphere, we remind you that people are at the center of its sustainability strategy, as they play a fundamental role in Gilardoni’s development and growth process. For these reasons, it has aimed to continue the process of staff training in various areas (technical, health and safety, etc.), training 100% of its employees.
Gilardoni is also happy to have maintained the smart working mode for all employees who hold a role compatible with this mode, in order to guarantee firstly a balance between working life and their personal life, and secondly to spread a working model based on trust, on the autonomy and empowerment of everyone.
Confirming its continuous commitment to sustainability and the integration of ESG issues within our business, during 2022, Gilardoni won the “Sustainability Award Top 100”, ranking among the top 30 Italian companies out of a total of 100 companies with a turnover of less than 250 million euros that have achieved the “highest ratings in the ESG field”.

TERRITORY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Our landscape has always been a precious resource to be preserved
Since the days of the founder Arturo Gilardoni, the Gilardoni plant has been built, maintained, and expanded with the utmost respect for the surrounding environment. Being in an area subject to environmental and landscape constraints, Gilardoni constantly guarantees the respect for the aesthetic aspect of the site thanks to plants, gardens, and visually non-impactful heights.
We care about our beloved Grigne and our beautiful lake!

GILARDONI SPREADS SUSTAINABILITY
COLLABORATIONS WITH SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS
We care about education and for this reason, together with the schools and universities of our territory, we host students for internships and degree theses.
ARTURO GILARDONI FOUNDATION
The foundation was born in memory of Eng. Arturo Gilardoni who, since the very beginning, had training and research at heart, principles on which he founded his company, Gilardoni SpA.
The Foundation supports the research and development of new technologies not only in the radiological and ultrasound fields, but also in all that is represented by the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter and the consequent development, control, and use of new materials.
It is also committed to raising awareness and promoting education at all school levels so that there is greater synergy between education and industry for the development of a know-how that can be directly used in the scientific and work fields.

GILARDONI MUSEUM
A meticulous work of recovery and study on the history of Gilardoni have allowed us to better focus the extraordinary path of the Company, documenting an intense dissemination and research activity through scientific publications, catalogues, advertising graphics, together with technological objects, machinery, applications, and media which have been kept in the company departments.
Thanks to this it was possible to create the museum: all the precious materials and documents are well preserved and available for public viewing.
GILTALKS
Inspired by TED Talks, a series of videos available on YouTube treating different topics in the scientific and non-scientific fields, we have created the “GILTALKS“. We made them with the goals of scientific dissemination in our x-ray and ultrasound sectors, sharing these topics even with those who are not experts in the subject, but above all they want to convey the passion that unites us and has distinguished us since 1947.
Your guides in this journey are and will be the #Gilmen of different departments. Those who work with these technologies every day with passion, competence and creativity are the protagonists.
