Sustainability: a core value at Transfer Oil

 

Environmental responsibility, social commitment and ethical governance are embedded in Transfer Oil decision-making and shape the way we develop our products, optimize our processes and build durable relationships with customers, suppliers and employees.

Our sustainability strategy combines long-term investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, responsible resource management and people development, supporting sustainable growth while delivering the high quality and reliability our customers expect.

Over the years, this approach has evolved into a structured ESG approach, supported by measurable objectives, internationally recognized standards and continuous monitoring of our environmental and social performance.

Transfer Oil's sustainability journey began with the installation of its first photovoltaic system in 2012. Since then, continuous investments have further strengthened this strategy, culminating in the construction of the new headquarters, designed to maximize energy efficiency, optimize resource consumption and provide a modern, sustainable working environment.

Energy-efficient headquarters

 

The design of our headquarters was driven by the goal of reducing energy consumption while providing a comfortable and efficient workplace.

Smart climate control system
Heating and cooling are managed through an intelligent building management system that continuously monitors outdoor temperature and air quality. Whenever external conditions allow, windows open automatically and the HVAC system is switched off, reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining optimal indoor comfort.
LED lighting
All office areas are equipped with high-efficiency LED lighting. Occupancy sensors and daylight-responsive controls automatically adjust lighting levels according to the presence of people and the amount of natural light available, minimizing electricity consumption without compromising workplace comfort.

Sustainability in manufacturing

 

Energy-efficient lighting


Most production areas are equipped with LED lighting, contributing to lower electricity consumption while providing optimal working conditions throughout the facility.

Laser marking technology


During 2024 and 2025, Transfer Oil introduced new laser marking machines for its thermoplastic hoses, completely replacing the previous inkjet technology. This transition eliminates the need for inks and solvents, whose annual consumption previously exceeded 400 kg.
The new marking system represents a significant improvement from both an environmental and an operational perspective.

Waste Management

 

Paper consumption

 

Office paper consumption has been significantly reduced thanks to cloud-based document management.
Workstations are equipped with large monitors that enable employees to view multiple documents simultaneously. Only three printers are available throughout the building, encouraging a workplace culture focused on minimizing paper use.
Together, these measures have reduced paper consumption by more than 80%.

Plastic consumption

 

In 2019, Transfer Oil eliminated single-use plastic bottles from vending machines, replacing them with drinking water dispensers and providing every employee with a reusable insulated bottle. Since the introduction of this initiative, the Company has avoided the use of approximately 253,000 plastic bottles, reducing plastic waste while encouraging more sustainable everyday habits.

Separate waste collection

 

Separate waste collection is implemented throughout the entire facility. In addition to standard recycling streams such as paper, plastic, glass and organic waste, the Company manages 26 different waste categories across offices and production departments, with most materials recovered or recycled through authorized waste management operators.

Renewable energy generation

 

Solar park

 

Renewable energy plays a central role in Transfer Oil's environmental strategy.

Following the installation of the Company's first photovoltaic system in 2012, a second and significantly larger installation became operational in 2024. Today, the Transfer Oil Solar Park covers approximately 20,000 m² of rooftop area and includes more than 5,000 photovoltaic panels, with a total installed capacity of approximately 2 MWp.

The system currently supplies around 80% of the Company's annual electricity demand, significantly reducing reliance on grid electricity while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving overall energy efficiency.

ESG, Code of Ethics & External Assessments

 
A structured approach to responsible growth

At Transfer Oil, sustainability is supported by a structured ESG framework based on voluntary environmental practices, social commitment and sound governance.

To guide this journey, the Company has established a dedicated team involving internal functions and external experts, with the aim of continuously monitoring performance, identifying improvement opportunities and aligning initiatives with internationally recognized ESG principles.

In 2023, this commitment led to the development of the first Sustainability Assessment, representing an important milestone towards the preparation of our Sustainability Report and the definition of measurable long-term objectives.

Independent recognition of our ESG commitment

Transfer Oil’s sustainability performance is also evaluated through EcoVadis, one of the most recognized global platforms for sustainability assessments.

Using a standardized methodology, EcoVadis evaluates companies across four key areas:

  • Environment
  • Labour & Human Rights
  • Ethics
  • Sustainable Procurement

Following the assessment, Transfer Oil achieved the EcoVadis Silver Medal, confirming the progress made in integrating responsible practices into our operations and value chain.

Responsible supply chain management

Our commitment extends beyond our own operations and includes the partners we work with.

Through platforms such as IntegrityNext, Transfer Oil provides customers with transparent information regarding its ESG practices and compliance with sustainability requirements.

In addition, our supplier qualification process includes the evaluation of environmental, social and ethical criteria, supporting the development of a responsible and resilient supply chain.

In addition, the Company has been assessed by Open-ES, achieving a score of 87 out of 100, and ranking in Class 3 – Master, the highest level assigned to manufacturing companies on the platform.

Ethics and responsible governance

In 2023, the Company adopted its Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and published its Code of Ethics, defining the values, principles and standards of conduct expected from employees, management, suppliers and business partners.

The Code of Ethics represents a reference framework for making ethical decisions and conducting business activities in a fair, transparent and socially responsible manner.
