Voluntary agreements and certified products

Over the years, the Program has involved about 200 paticipants, including companies, municipalities and universities. The companies that join the program, following the signing of a Voluntary Agreement with the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, complete the process with the certification of data by a third independent party in order to be able to communicate the final results and ensure maximum transparency of the entire process.

The purpose of the Voluntary Agreement program is to implement a realistic test, in collaboration with the Italian production sector, to test on a large scale and optimize the different methodologies for measuring environmental performance, considering the different economic sectors characteristics, in order to harmonize and make them replicable.
