Sustainability at the core
Care for the environment, the people, the local community, and attentive, responsible corporate governance with a long-term vision have guided our actions, enabling Officine Ambrogio Melesi to cross the seventy-year milestone.
At Officine Ambrogio Melesi, we believe that commitment to sustainability is a key, concrete and measurable factor.
Our will is to promote greater awareness and responsibility in all ESG areas by embarking on a voluntary and dedicated path to measure our impact. It is a path that bears with it the need for strong changes in the way we operate, a collective path that permeates transversally our approach, and that of our employees, to our work.
It is with everyone's contribution that our ambitions are transformed into facts, year after year.
We do not just comply with regulatory obligations, but we aspire to be a real driver of change by ensuring that what is written in sustainability reports is always grounded on a principle of truth and clarity, and that words are followed by concrete and consistent actions.
Through its business model, Officine Ambrogio Melesi is actively committed to contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Each material theme, from energy efficiency to worker health and safety, has been associated with specific, measurable and time-bound goals. Through continuous monitoring and implementation of concrete actions, we are committed to achieving these goals on time.
Sustainability Strategies
Our ESG Plan (Environmental, Social and Governance) represents a long-term strategic commitment aimed at integrating ethical, environmental and social principles into corporate decision-making and operational processes. In 2024, we strengthened the initiatives launched in the previous year, enhancing our ability to assess material impacts, risks and opportunities and to define concrete and measurable targets.
The objective of the Plan is to create shared value for all stakeholders, while contributing to the reduction of environmental impacts, the improvement of employee well-being, and the assurance of transparent and responsible sustainability governance. Our commitment goes beyond mere regulatory compliance: we aim to actively contribute to global sustainability objectives, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
ESG Dimensions
For each dimension, results and targets are measured through GRI standards and associated with the United Nations Development Goals (SDGs).
Environmental dimension

Srl continues to pursue a proactive and systematic approach to managing its environmental performance, integrating environmental protection and occupational health and safety within its Integrated Management System, compliant with the international standards UNI EN ISO 14001 and UNI ISO 45001.
The Company’s Management acknowledges the centrality of the human factor and the shared responsibility towards the environment as fundamental elements of its organizational culture. Corporate action is based on three key principles: knowledge, engagement, and continuous improvement.
In-depth knowledge of production processes enables the identification and minimisation of environmental impacts; the active involvement of all personnel and the development of skills ensure that sustainability becomes an integral part of daily work; finally, continuous improvement drives every initiative, guiding decisions towards the adoption of the best available technologies and the prevention of pollution and waste.
Throughout 2024, Melesi strengthened this vision through a set of targeted actions aimed at reducing its environmental footprint, optimising resources, and reinforcing internal environmental awareness.
