The main risks of an environmental nature

The main environmental risks were the pollution risk deriving from the management of waste and water discharges.
These risks were closely linked to the production of Ratti SpA, with a lower frequency at Textrom Srl. In particular, the phases
of dyeing, washing, finishing and printing are the most delicate in terms of environmental impact, not least because of the use
of chemical products.
In Creomoda and La Maison des Accessoires water is used only for civil purposes and the volume of waste produced is very
limited.
✱ For more details of the environmental policy and specific projects undertaken see Chapter 4 “Ratti’s environmental
commitment”.

customers. Ratti sets up a company for recycling non-hazardous textile waste – the company is still undergoing
the authorisation process.
Initiatives are under way to improve waste management.
Creomoda and La Maison des Accessoires and Textrom have specific environmental policies.
In Creomoda and La Maison des Accessories such risks are negligible given the absence of pro-
duction plant and the limited amount of material discarded.
In Textrom a specific consultant is responsible for ensuring compliance with national legislation.
Water discharges, both from Ratti and from Textrom, are channelled to public purification plants.
Finally, since 2018 separate waste collection has been in place at Textrom.
