Gattinoni’s commitment to reducing emissions: from renewable energy sources to joining the SAF programme

Gattinoni’s war on greenhouse gases is being fought on several fronts, all in the name of corporate social responsibility. Determined to become ‘net zero’ by 2050, the Lecco-based group – which specialises in the design, management and marketing of travel and events – aims to combat the effects of ‘climate change’ and ‘overtourism’ by simultaneously working to reduce, offset and remove CO₂ emissions, either directly or in partnership with companies that share its values.

Aware of the importance of accurately measuring and reporting its carbon footprint, and having published its first sustainability report in 2024 with the support of Up2you, Gattinoni has progressively expanded the scope of its analysis from direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions to those generated throughout the entire value chain, to the point of also including the environmental impact of tours, holidays and business travel (Scope 3), which, on its own, accounts for approximately 90 per cent of the total.

Whilst the increased use of renewable energy at its premises enabled the Group to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 67.7 per cent in 2024 compared with the previous year, participation in Air France-KLM’s SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) programme, on the other hand, helps to reduce the carbon footprint associated with air travel, supporting the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable fuels. Finally, support forthe Val Dogà project, which aims to promote the growth of algal beds in the Venetian Lagoon, contributes to carbon offsetting through an initiative capable of naturally and sustainably absorbing and storing over 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year.

“When we had the opportunity to learn about the initiative first-hand, we immediately realised how important it was to share it with our stakeholders, customers and partners, because we believe that sustainability only becomes truly effective when it ceases to be an abstract concept and becomes a tangible experience,” said…
