We strongly believe in respecting the environment and the ecosystem in which we operate. For this reason, we carry out our business taking into consideration the protection of the environment and the need for a sustainable use of natural resources, in compliance with the provisions of current legislation. Our business requires careful management of so-called WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment) for which the we have defined a specific procedure.
Waste management
As a distributor of electrical and electronic equipment, Unieuro falls under the legislative obligations of Legislative Decree no. 121/2016 and 49/2014, which regulate the conduct of free collection of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The management of this waste has been entrusted to an external company that deals with the collection and disposal of waste.

Consumption of resources
In light of the nature of our business, the consumption of commodities is substantially limited to the outsourced production and distribution of promotional flyers.
We use promotional material manufactured by some of the main paper mills Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) certified, that do not use organic elemental chlorine in the whitening phase. Materials contain on average 40% of recycled fibre, while the remaining 60% comes from cellulose obtained from forests managed according to the PEFC (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standards.
