In 2017, it became the world’s first B-Corporation® Certified valve and actuator company. The Brescia-based company achieves another milestone on the road to the highest level of environmental and social sustainability.
“We are truly proud to have reached another important goal in 2021; even more so because it is a goal related to sustainability. OMAL S.p.A. is now a “Società Benefit”. This is the culmination of a journey that we embarked on in 2016 by joining the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative for Sustainable Development in 17 Goals for people, for the planet, and prosperity. In 2017, we became a B Corp®, sharing with over 4,000 companies around the world our sensitivity towards fundamental issues such as environmental protection, human rights, labour, and transparency. From that moment, we have continued to build and consolidate our organization and we have managed our operations around those issues through the driver of innovation. But we did not stop there, and to give greater strength and universality to our commitment nationally, in 2018 we became a founding member of the Global Compact Network Italy. Being a “Società Benefit” completes an ambitious and important project that forms the foundation of our corporate vision; that is, to find the right balance between man and the environment, improving the quality of life and guaranteeing a better world for future generations,” the company said in a statement.
