Dear Stakeholders,
2022 represented 55 years of success and recognition for us at Besenzoni, confirming our business model. In these years of history we have reached customers in 90 countries, which make Besenzoni an ambassador of the Made in Italy in the world thanks to its 170 products on the market.
From the innovative idea of the founder, nothing other than my father, who began producing nautical components for lake boats, to today,there has been a continuous escalation in the creation of increasingly innovative accessories.
We at Besenzoni have in our DNA the desire to always go further. Thanks to our innovation we have managed to create the impossible and to find solutions that would render life on board simpler and more enveloping.
The craftsmanship that distinguishes us is our continuous research, capable of giving the market the answers it requires. Alongside traditional production, which remains our core business, in our new projects we aim towards the design and construction of increasingly eco-friendly products: we believe that the issue of sustainabilityhas become essential!
We have decided to draw up our first Sustainability Report, to demonstrate our willingness to respond to new environmental, economic and social risks. As a family man, I believe it is necessary and essential to guide the company towards sustainable growth for future generations.
Our company looks to the future aware ofthe radical change that the context requires.
Our commitment to product sustainability has thus become our new Mission.
For this reason,last year we launched the BeElectric product line.
The first model was LaPasserella, then came LaScala, IlSalpAncora and, more recently, IlTenderLift. These are products with exclusively electric movement, no longer electro-hydraulic. The innovative and sustainable aspect of BeElectric products does not lie exclusively
in having a power supply electric, but in the absence of the hydraulic control unit and the lubricants that make systems quieter, lighter and easier to maintain. The result is reduced fuel consumption for moving the boat.
For many years, our intent to act in a socially responsible manner has been aimed not only at the production of new items, but also at the company's production principles: from the drastic reduction in the use of paper in offices, up to the choice to rethink packaging materials replaced with more eco-friendly alternatives. Furthermore, we have updated and replaced machinery, with new less impactful solutions: we use, for example, a new water cutting system that does not use mineral oil but electric pumps, to avoid pollution and dispersions.
Among the various projects, I would like to highlight one dedicated to increase efficiency in room heating management, thanks to the study of a geothermal well. Furthermore, together with the Lombardy Region, we have started the project to create a heat exchanger that exploits heat produced by the oven used in painting.
2022 was also a year of strong growth for our people, the true creators of our success. Our commitment to enhancing human capital was translated into training courses and programs to promote health and safety in the workplace.
At the same time, company benefits have increased, with the aim of considering the increase of the cost of living.
I invite you to continue reading our first Sustainability Report, hoping that the passion and care for everything we do emerges from the pages of this new initiative.
