We promote a form of generative welfare that, through the circular economy, creates shared value and allows each person involved to feel socially and professionally active and to achieve their goals. We encourage the development of decent jobs for women and men, including young people and people with disabilities, that stimulate economies and at the same time do not harm the environment.

We work hard to reduce inequalities and enhance the social, economic and political inclusion of all, regardless of age, sex, disability, health status, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, economic status or otherwise.

We support growth that improves the use of resources and reduces pollution and poverty, promoting the development of participatory and sustainable communities that implement policies aimed at inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

We implement a sustainable model of production and consumption, which aims to "do more and better with less", increasing the benefits in terms of well-being derived from economic activities through the reduction of resources used, degradation and pollution throughout the production cycle, thus improving the quality of life. We engage in a systemic and cooperative process with different stakeholders, from the producer to the consumer, including businesses, non-profits, policy makers, retailers, media, consumers. 

We implement a sustainable model of production and consumption, providing affordable and flexible solutions to build cleaner and more resilient economies.

We are committed to creating synergies between the different actors of the socio-economic fabric, in order to build an ecosystem built on a common vision, based on sustainable development, that focuses on people and the planet. 

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an action program for people, the planet and prosperity.

Signed on 25th September 2015 by the governments of the 193 United Nations countries, and approved by the UN General Assembly, the Agenda consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, set within a broader action program of 169 associated targets or milestones, to be achieved in the environmental, economic, social and institutional fields by 2030.

This program does not solve all the problems, but it is a good common basis from which to build a different world and to give everyone the opportunity to live in a world that is sustainable from an environmental, social and economic point of view.

A global challenge

The goals set for sustainable development are globally valid, concerning and involving all countries and members of society, from private companies to the public sector, from civil society to information and culture operators.

The 17Goals refer to a set of important development issues that take into account, in a balanced way, the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and ecological – and aim to end poverty, fight against inequality, address climate change, and build peaceful societies that respect human rights.

Impact in relation to resources

Material resources

To date, over 100 tons of products destined for landfill have been collected.
This ensures a reduction of over 100 tons of waste and at the same time a lower use of natural resources for the production of semi-finished products and new components.

Energy resources

The recovery of the products collected to date allows a reduction in CO2 emissions of approximately 257,166 kg.

Furthermore, reuse allows for the consumption of less energy for the production of semi-finished products and new components.

Financial resources

The recovery and reuse of products are a source of economic savings and profit for CR and for all the actors involved in the network, namely the companies donating the waste, the collaborating artisans and the external producers:

- The companies donating the waste save on the expense related to waste disposal costs and internal human resources or environmental consultancy companies, necessary to manage the waste.

- Collaborating artisans obtain work on commission and therefore monetary income.

- External producers, for whom CR makes the e-commerce channel available, earn from the sale of their products. Some of them also make them spending less, since they use components supplied by CR, saving on purchasing them from scratch.

Human resources

The creative reuse activity generates jobs, involving a greater number of human resources, including artisans and external suppliers.

Through the up-cycling workshops, which CR organizes in partnership with associations and foundations, people with fragilities are involved - people with disabilities or in difficult situations - and students from design schools.

Intangible/intellectual resources

Through the e-commerce platform, the culture of creative reuse is spread among end users, consumers of the products.

The up-cycling workshops generate an opportunity for autonomy, work inclusion and consequently social inclusion for people with fragilities. They bring young people closer to the world of work, teaching them a trade and educating them not to waste resources.
The involvement of artisans in the process allows their know-how to be passed on and promotes artisan mastery. The involvement of large companies pushes them more to take on responsibility towards the planet and society.

The impact in relation to the type of sustainability

Environmental sustainability

A sustainable model of resilient production and consumption is implemented, which aims to "do more and better with less", by reducing the use of resources, waste production and pollution throughout the production cycle, thus improving the quality of life and preserving the planet.

Economic sustainability

CR's business model promotes growth that improves the use of resources, bringing economic savings and/or profit for the actors involved, at every level.

The up-cycling activity creates employment, professional training and allows the transmission of technical and specific skills among young people and adults, supporting entrepreneurship.

Through activities developed in collaboration with NGOs in developing countries, CR works to ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable have access to basic services.

Social sustainability

Through the circular economy, a form of generative welfare is promoted, which allows each person involved to feel socially and professionally active and achieve their goals.

The projects developed are attentive to disabilities, guarantee equal access to training for protected categories and inclusive learning environments for all.

Part of the regeneration activity is carried out in collaboration with NGOs, to bring inclusive mobility solutions to less developed countries.

Cultural sustainability

The involvement of different stakeholders, from the producer to the consumer - including businesses, non-profit organizations, policy makers, retailers, media, consumers - spreads a common vision based on sustainable development, which puts people and the planet at the center.
