Awards
Sustainability: not just a goal, but an intrinsic and distinctive commitment in every aspect of our daily operations.
Gesteco embraces sustainability as a fundamental pillar of its mission and corporate purpose.
The sustainable approach is the common thread that guides our strategic decisions, the design of our operations, and our interactions with all stakeholders. We are aware of the crucial importance of mitigating the environmental impact of our activities and strive to implement solutions that promote environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
In the development of our business, we invest in innovative technologies and processes to reduce our environmental footprint, adopt responsible resource management practices, and actively collaborate with local communities to promote sustainable initiatives.
We are actively dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring others to follow our path towards a more environmentally conscious and respectful corporate management, as the major (climate, global, and economic) changes we are witnessing require companies to renew themselves deeply. Gesteco wants to have a decisive role as an agent of change and for this reason, in 2020, it created Beeability®.

FVG-4-ESG Report
Good practices in the company that promote environmental and social sustainability
The “Safety Week” project is one of the virtuous practices promoting environmental and social sustainability within the company, as highlighted in the FVG-4-ESG report, involving 24 entities in the region. The publication is part of the “Sustainability as a System” project, funded by the Friuli Venezia Giulia region (2022 – 2023) and coordinated by Animaimpresa.
The “Safety Week” was created in 2019 to celebrate the European Week for Safety and Health at Work, an event held every October. This activity goes beyond mere compliance with regulations. Its aim is to raise awareness among employees and collaborators involved in healthy and safe work practices (and more), embracing the principles of social and environmental sustainability.
In terms of safety, various topics were addressed: from the management of risks on the production site to health and safety, up to social and environmental sustainability. Regarding health, the activity carried out in 2023 was highlighted: the “Progetto Cuore”, designed with the aim of raising awareness among employees about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, focusing mainly on sudden cardiac arrest.
2019-2023
WHP – Workplace Health Promotion
From 2019 to 2023, we were awarded by the West Friuli Health Authority (ASFO) for implementing the WHP network model, creating conditions to encourage employees and collaborators to make choices for their own well-being and health.
In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, an increasing number of industrial and commercial entities are showing interest in this program, which includes a yearly reporting by ASFO on the good practices implemented to improve workers' health.
Over the years, we have promoted various training and awareness activities, from healthy and balanced nutrition to physical activity in the company, from good practices for work-life balance to targeted interventions for safe and sustainable mobility. Additionally, we have organized various prevention activities for addictions (smoking, alcohol, and narcotics), focusing in 2023 on the prevention of heart diseases.

The green economy and the waste management system - edited by Marco Letizi
We are proud that our experience has been included in Marco Letizi's book, “La Green Economy and the Waste Management System”.
The work addresses the complex issue of waste management system in the circular economy, highlighting the main barriers that hinder the implementation of circular processes in the activities of collection, selection, treatment, and reuse of waste.
Our participation as a case study emphasizes our commitment and success in the sector, contributing to providing a tangible example of sustainable practices in the context of waste management.
In detail, the company's initiatives to make the aggregates and landfill waste supply chain circular and the analysis of energy circularity were examined to increase the levels of circularity in waste treatment processes.
