Ari8’s first Sustainability Report
In 2025, Ari8 decided to draft and publish its first Sustainability Report. It was a fully voluntary choice, reflecting the company’s intention to make its values explicit, monitor its impacts and foster transparent dialogue with its stakeholders.
Ari8 is a micro-enterprise with over thirty years of experience in the cement industry, specialising in the design and construction of grinding plants. For this first report, the company adopted the VSME Standard – Basic option, a framework designed for SMEs that want to approach sustainability reporting in a rigorous yet proportionate way.
The document places strong emphasis on clarity and linearity, clearly detailing sources, calculation methods and informational boundaries. It has also been designed for effective online use, with a clean, readable layout.
Amapola’s contribution
Amapola supported Ari8 throughout all main phases of the process, managing data collection and content development. The work was carried out in close collaboration with the company’s management, enhancing its straightforward and pragmatic style.
This approach made it possible to build a document fully aligned with Ari8’s identity and scale, while keeping at the centre the core pillars of sustainability: environment, people and community. Thanks to careful editorial work and solid methodological structuring, the report became not only a descriptive tool, but a strategic one.
