ENVIRONMENTAL.
ROSSINI HEADQUARTER.
Designed to combine energy efficiency, logistics automation, functional spaces and promote employee well-being. An excellence hub to serve companies, stores and distributors of promotional and accident prevention products in Italy and Europe.

It is equipped with a system of 300 solar panels of 129 kWp capacity, capable of covering 70% of annual energy needs with renewable energy. LED lamps of the latest generation will be installed in all 40,000 m² of the headquarters, so as to decrease CO2 emissions by 109,610kg compared to the previous ones, saving an equivalent of about 11,000 trees.
The efficient warehouse enables to reduce environmental impact and improve efficiency and operator’s wellbeing.

In 2023, work began to introduce a new automated warehouse to support the existing one, which will increase the level of efficiency in handling and at the same time improve the involved operators’wellbeing.
PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION.
High quality standards are adhered to at all stages, from material selection to the manufacture of products. Rossini workwear do not contain chemicals harmful to health and are made with ethical and responsible productions.

All Rossini products have environmental labeling that suggests to customers how to properly dispose of packaging.
Processes are optimized to reduce waste from workwear production and packaging. Scraps are valorized through volumetric reduction treatments and transformation into materials that will have a second life.
FORWARDERS.
Forwarders are chosen with care. Rossini products are entrusted to sustainable logistics partners who work to reduce the environmental impact and CO2 emissions from their operations. It is important that they, like us, actively participate in community projects to support the areas in which they operate.
Working together as a team for common goals can make a big difference, as giving back what we take through support and active contribution is an integral part of our corporate culture.
SOCIAL.
INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS.
Rossini’s main goal is to dress professionals with clothing and Personal Protective Equipment that can guarantee maximum safety and comfort, without ever forgetting style. This is why great attention is paid to the quality of processes and certification of product and company performance parameters.
The Quality Management System is updated according to the latest edition of the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard, which establishes the requirements to be met to ensure the quality of products and services provided and the satisfaction of customers and all stakeholders.
The products manufactured and services offered have passed the healthiness, harmlessness, resistance and other parameters tests required by EU Regulation 2016/425 related to products certified as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

ETHICS.
A code of conduct has been introduced to certify the company commitment to act ethically, respecting workers’ rights and environmental protection regulations. All suppliers who collaborate with Rossini in turn sign it, committing themselves to the same goals.
COMMUNITY.
Demonstrating our social commitment through concrete actions that benefit the community is crucial for us.
During 2023, more than 110 thousand euros worth of materials were donated to the Italian Red Cross and the Volunteer First Aid and Public Assistance Association of Vimercate (IT).

GOVERNANCE.
PEOPLE GROWTH AND SUPPORT.
Rossini employees are one of the most important resources for the success of the organization. The company’s growth is due not only to the dedication, quality and innovation of its products, but above all to the attention and support given to its human capital.
Rossini provides employees with the appropriate tools and opportunities to enhance professional and role-specific skills through the implementation of mandatory and professional training aimed at continuous growth.
The company also guarantees fair treatment and merit-based rewards. Support for employees is provided through a structured welfare plan that enables them to take care of themselves and their families. Added to this are a supplementary health fund and bonuses linked to company and personal goals.
WELLBEING AND COLLABORATION.
In the second half of 2023, the first phase of the re-styling of the Italian Head quarter was launched, an initiative strongly endorsed by the Management to improve wellbeing, encourage collaboration among people and stimulate creativity.
Rich vegetation was included as a symbol of the Company’s commitment to the planet. Natural elements not only enrich the interior space, making it pleasant, but also help improve air quality and promote a general sense of wellbeing.
Rossini’s birth, growth and achievements have been narrated through a visual pathway positioned on the staircase that leads from the ground floor to the offices. By climbing it every day, visitors and employees can thus rediscover the Company’s roots and follow, step after step, its journey to the present day.
