YOU ARE THE ONLY YOU – When sustainability starts from the Company

In the video, the static nature of the protagonist who rewinds a red yarn on a bobbine is contrasted with a fast motion effect of several people who quickly move around him. It is the contrast between the solidity of the past and the acceleration of the present: an invitation to slow down and never lose the important “thread” that binds us to our history and tradition

Next to each shot, as in an identikit, everyone has written their name, job and a sentence that expresses what they appreciate most about their work.
This also explains the title project, You are the only you:
because every role in the Company is fundamental but above all because behind every role there is a person who is important in his uniqueness

Believes in Sustainability

Along with a group of companies of the CPF, we set out on this path by defining a Charter of Values fir Sustainability which is articulated on several points:

  • Traceability in the supply chain: from the procurement of raw materials to the last phase of working inside or outside the company
  • Meeting standards and international conventions on human rights
  • Respect and dignity of life of every living thing
