Environmental Awareness
Giusti has implemented and daily follows a series of best practices that contribute to making business life as green as possible. The factory boasts a photovoltaic installation aiming at achieving electric independence. All company areas are arranged for waste sorting, in addition to adopting a plastic-free internal policy. Furthermore, the supply chain is short for most of the raw materials employed.
The Strength of our Women
People are at the core of our corporate development, bearing the brand values and responsible for its growth. Today, 70% of the Giusti Team consists of extraordinary women who passionately dedicate themselves every day to their activity: from hospitality to manual finishing, from customer care to graphic development and quality control. An incredible value added that makes us proud supporters of gender equality.
Our Shipments Go Green
DHL is our trustworthy and established partner for managing ecologically committed international shipments. The transport company DHL endorses a carbon insetting program for a sharp reduction in CO2 emissions through the deployment of electric or hybrid vehicles and an increasing use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Thanks to these efforts, we offset a total of 51 tons of CO2 emissions in 2023.
Partnership with Universities
We believe in promoting talents and developing prestigious schools. In line with this philosophy, Giusti is a supporting member of Pollenzo University of Gastronomic Sciences. We also collaborate with major national and international universities, committing to welcome groups of students for workshops and educational activities, start internships, and support graduation thesis projects.
