ESG Transparency and Sustainability Reporting
In response to the growing market expectations regarding ESG matters, since 2021 Gens Aurea S.p.A. has undertaken a structured sustainability reporting journey in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, strengthening transparency and measurability.
The Sustainability Report serves as a key tool for sharing achieved results, implemented actions, and future objectives with stakeholders, while fostering open dialogue and increasingly active and informed participation.
Through this journey, Gens Aurea S.p.A. confirms its commitment to combining economic growth with environmental and social responsibility, contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive development model.
Operational evidence of the circular model.
Gens Aurea S.p.A. operates through an integrated industrial model aligned with the principles of the circular economy, with a distinctive positioning in the gold and jewelry market. Through its brands, including OroCash and the platforms active in the Iberian area, the Group has built a supply chain based on the recovery of precious metals from the consumer channel, helping to reduce dependence on mining activities.
Each year, the Group recovers over 11 tons of precious metals and, through OroCash, acquires significant volumes of gold and thousands of carats of diamonds. This approach reduces the consumption of natural resources and strengthens a circular and sustainable growth model.
Recovery cycle.
Gens Aurea’s circular economy model is based on the recovery of gold and precious materials: reused gold accounts for 99.8% of the raw materials used, while recovered diamonds represent 98%.
In 2021, the Group also conducted a Life Cycle Assessment study to measure the carbon footprint of regenerated gold compared to primary extraction.
This approach confirms sustainability as a key driver of Gens Aurea’s business model, integrating environmental, social, and ethical principles into decision-making processes and growth strategy.
Efficiency throughout the value chain.
Gens Aurea oversees the entire value chain through an integrated model that combines industrial efficiency and sustainability.
Through resource optimization, waste reduction, and the reintegration of materials into production cycles, the Group contributes to preserving natural capital and limiting environmental and social impacts.
Compared to mined gold, this approach makes it possible to avoid up to 99.98% of CO₂ emissions, strengthening Gens Aurea’s positioning as an operator capable of promoting more circular and responsible growth.
A sustainable model that combines growth, environmental protection, and transparency towards all stakeholders.
