A tool for monitoring safety, wellbeing and respect. We speak to coordinator Vanessa Russo.

Tidiness and Cleanliness are synonymous with Safety and Quality. It was with this slogan, over ten years ago, that the Clean Team was established – a group of staff members from Euro Stampaggi whose aim is to ensure continuous monitoring of cleanliness standards in the interests of safety, environmental protection and staff well-being.

A team that is regularly refreshed to ensure the widest possible participation and the ongoing professional development of all staff.

We are therefore pleased to present the “Team of 18” for 2026, which is also led by Vanessa Russo, who has been in post since 2022.

“The Clean Team,” he explains, “provides an opportunity for all departments to exchange ideas and discuss issues, where problems are highlighted and practical solutions are sought. We share ideas and experiences that are destined to become a resource for everyone.”

Whilst its primary aim is to maintain order and cleanliness within the factory, the Clean Team also serves to ensure ongoing coordination between the various departments and provides constant feedback to management.

“There is excellent cooperation among colleagues and the management is extremely supportive, constantly providing us with fresh impetus. And I must say that the results are clear to see: even recently, we have received many expressions of appreciation from key clients who have visited the factory.”

The next step? “We’re currently putting together a map,” he concludes, “to be distributed to staff and displayed on the premises, showing the locations of all the recycling points.”

The first 100% eco-friendly car was purchased over 10 years ago.

Why wait until 2030? Euro Stampaggi is ahead of the curve and purchases a fully electric company car: the new Smart #1 Brabus.

In the context of the Green Deal, Fit for 55 is an important programme that aims to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. It also affects various areas of law and economic sectors, including carbon dioxide emission standards for cars and vans. In particular, the targets set for new cars and vans are a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2035 and a 55% reduction in CO2 emissions (compared to 2021 levels) by 2030.

Euro Stampaggi purchased its first 100% electric company car over ten years ago. It was a Nissan Leaf and was part of the wider Ecoday initiative, an ‘ecological’ day held once a month, which saw all employees involved in bringing simple but innovative solutions to respect the workplace and the surrounding environment.

Compliance with rules and ethical conduct: requirements for certification

On 3 February 2016, the Italian Competition and Market Authority awarded Euro Stampaggi the Legality Rating. This is an ethical certification that promotes the adoption of legal, ethical and transparent behaviour by companies, and their commitment to improving their responsible impact on society and the environment.

The Legality Rating was established by Decree Law 1/2012 with the aim of promoting the introduction of ethical principles in corporate behaviour. The implementing decrees will be issued in November 2012, and Euro Stampaggi is taking immediate action to initiate the procedures that will lead to the ratification of compliance with the requirements of the law in 2016.

The rating is awarded based on recognition of companies’ compliance with high standards of legality and measures transparent, ethical and virtuous corporate management. It also promotes merit-based competition, encouraging compliance with both internal rules, in the organisation of work and in relations with staff, and external rules towards customers, suppliers, the environment and the community.

“I am proud that it has become the shared heritage of the entire company.” 

“I have always believed that a company must have solid foundations and operate with fairness and honesty.” This was Giuliano Simonelli’s comment on the tenth anniversary of Euro Stampaggi obtaining its Legality Rating. 

“Compliance with rules and fairness in relations with customers and suppliers are fundamental requirements,” continues Simonelli, “and I am convinced that over time we will reap the benefits. I am also proud that these issues have become a certified policy for the entire company, a shared and unanimous guideline. Even in times of crisis, we have always tried to uphold the banner of rigour,” he recalls, “and I believe I can say today that it has been worth it. Important customers continue to choose us as their preferred partner, and we maintain effective collaborative relationships with local institutions and law enforcement agencies.”

Best wishes for a well-deserved retirement from the entire Euro Stampaggi Group

Over the years, we inevitably come into contact with the local Carabinieri station… a lost document, a theft, and we are often greeted with a professionalism that derives from the excellent reputation of the Carabinieri that we all know. However, it is not always a given that we will find ‘men’ who are attentive to the realities of the territory and close to the people, to ‘everyone’. This is what Commander Antonio Laera was during his tenure. Cheerful and playful, the commander showed us that institutional professionalism and humanity can coexist.

Laera joined the Carabinieri in 1984. In 2000, he became commander of the Scandicci station, before transferring to the Badia a Settimo station, which has jurisdiction over the entire industrial area. Over the years, he has earned respect for his investigative skills and presence in the area. After retiring, he decided to remain in Scandicci.

New additions to the Group and new responsibilities
Enrico Magherini replaces Andrea Bencini

There are some important changes in the Euro Stampaggi Clean Team: the Head of the internal area changes (Enrico Magherini replaces Andrea Bencini) and Flavia Modica joins. We welcome both newcomers and wish them all the best in their work within this team, which is doing an excellent job in terms of safety, order and cleanliness, which are the foundations of Quality.

The Clean Team has already been operating within the company for many years and has actively contributed to forming a true consciousness related to the wellbeing of workers and the decorum of working environments.

A long journey started by our company back in 2008

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Whether the phrase was written by Chief Seattle of the Duwamish and Squamish American Indian tribes or rather by screenwriter Ted Perry does not really matter; what one can no longer do today is ignore it.

In the full awareness of this reality, the _Co2 zeroing project implemented by Euro Stampaggi is part of it. By using methane gas for its production processes, Euro Stampaggi has committed to zeroing the _Co2 produced by this fuel, adhering to a project that financed the construction of a dam in India, thus enabling it to have 1142 ‘Verified Carbon Units’, which correspond to 1142 tonnes of _Co2 equivalent, equal to those produced by our company in the year 2022. This is a further step in the direction of sustainability, a path that Euro Stampaggi undertook in 2008 with the construction of the first photovoltaic plant, which will soon be expanded to further increase the percentage of green energy used.
