BertO receives the Radical Green award- GREEN WEEK 2018

BertO receives the Radical Green award 2018


Every year the Festival of Green Economy in Trento assigns a prestigious award to entrepreneurial enterprises which have undertaken the path of sustainability, also cultural.

The 2018 edition assigned awards to entrepreneurs who have developed a particular approach to sustainability, so becoming little-big examples of how economy can and does develop values and significance.

There was the entrepreneur who proposed to change the aspect of his valley (at his own expense); there was the society which permitted potential clients to observe  the upholstery work, to meet the tailors and to watch the cutting process of the rolls of fabric; there was the entrepreneur who gave priority to ecological compatibility by adopting a specific Sustainability Charter; there was another who bottled water from a source in a valley in Piedmont with all the care with which he would treat a precious gift and so looking after the surrounding environment; and another who was inspired by the principle of Less is More, a principle which involves giving more in value, products and services while reducing consumption, waste and negative impact on the environment. 

Societies which received the Radical Green 2018 Awards:

-Lorenzo Delladio, CEO of La Sportiva, a world leader in the production of rock climbing shoes and  boots for mountaineering.

-Filippo Berto, CEO BertO, Tappezzeria Sartoriale which permits potential clients to observe the working process, to meet the workers and to watch the upholsterers transform a frame into a sofa.

-Marco Mantellassi, CEO of Manteco, a society whose story has been constructed on small and big ideas following a path based on the deep knowledge of raw materials.

-Alessandro Invernizzi, Managing Director of Lurisia, a society specialised in the production and commercialisation of water and soft drinks and which embraces the principles of People and Territory, the two main values which influence their every decision.

-Susanna Bellandi, global creative, communication & CSR director of Sofidel, world leader in the production of paper tissues for hygienic and domestic use.

And a special mention to Paolo Verri, Director of Matera 2019 European Capital of Culture.
The festival takes place in Trento from 16th to 18th March.
