The environmentRespect for people, for tradition and for the environment are values we hold dear. All of our papers are ECF FSC™-certified (FSC™ C018501). Our mills comply with ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and our mill at Stoneywood is also ISO 50001 (Energy Management)-compliant. The use of alternative materials, such as fast-growing, renewable bamboo fibres and by-products from the food industry, is a vital part of our product development programme. We’re also continually looking to achieve cleaner, whiter recycled papers. Our ranges offer more than a hundred recycled options, from 25% to 100% post-consumer waste, from smooth and textured whites to coloured boards. In the UK, Ireland, Benelux, Nordics, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand and Australia, we make Conqueror papers carbon-neutral. We do this by working constantly to reduce carbon emissions in the production and delivery of the paper, and compensating for the remaining emissions through the sponsorship of carbon-reduction projects.

Production Since its foundation in 1888, Fedrigoni has specialised in fine paper for printing, editing, labels, bookbinding, packaging and paper products. While this remains very much at the heart of the business, the company continually creates new paper processes and technologies that satisfy the ever-changing aesthetic and technical demands of the market. Thanks to an advanced logistics system benefiting from 11 warehouse branches in Italy and seven abroad, Fedrigoni builds strong relationships with customers and provides them with highly tailored services, with very fast turnaround times. By collaborating closely with customers, Fedrigoni creates specially customised paper products along with the 2,500 standard items that are always in stock. History Giuseppe Antonio Fedrigoni, after a long period dedicated to commerce in paper, began paper production in 1888 in the Verona Paper mill,that was subsequently expanded by his son, Antonio.
nvironment Fedrigoni never flags in the attention it pays to sustainability and respect for the environment: that attention starts with its raw materials, which it sources exclusively from suppliers who practice responsible environmental policies, and its production facilities, whose energy comes from cogeneration plants, and continues right through to the finished product and distribution. The Group has dedicated many years to expanding its range of papers bearing FSC® Chain of Custody certification. By 2010, the company had achieved a percentage of no less than 85% People Our most important asset is our people. It’s their dedication and passion that make our business what it is. In return, we are committed to giving all of our employees the skills and training they need to reach their full potential. Across the group, we have nearly two thousand employees in seven countries. We ask all of our employees to comply with the Group’s Code of Ethics, which endorses principles of transparency, fairness, trust and good working conduct, as well as setting clear and consistent standards for health, safety and environmental management. Every year, around 75% of our permanent workforce attend at least one training course, which is either managerial or technical/specialist (excluding technical on-the-job-training). This adds up to almost 20,000 hours of training each year. We make safety in the workplace a priority. Around 900 employees take part in health and safety courses, workshops and events every year. Our health and safety monitoring across the group shows that these have resulted in a sharp reduction in accident frequency and seriousness, as well as a decrease in average sick-leave periods. |
