Sustainability at Tiesse
Tiesse is strongly committed to sustainability, vigorously addressing the challenge of reducing the environmental impact of production and constantly researching safer and more environmentally friendly materials. The company is committed to staying true to the principles of transparency and practicality through initiatives that bring tangible benefits to the community, the environment and people.
For years, Tiesse has used only recycled cardboard boxes and is migrating toward plastic-free packaging for all product lines. It also promotes the use of environmentally friendly materials for printed circuit boards. Inspired by Olivetti's legacy, Tiesse adopts an ethical supply chain, carefully selecting components and ensuring their traceability.
In 2020, Tiesse launched the “1000 Trees in Italy” project to combat climate change, planting 1,000 trees in Calitri (Av), Irpinia. The project involves the planting of different species of broadleaf trees in three areas, with the supervision of expert agronomists and botanists to ensure their proper establishment, maintenance and preservation over time.
Environment
Environmental sustainability is a core value for Tiesse. We are proud to be ISO 14001 certified, confirming our commitment to environmental management. We constantly monitor our carbon footprint and adopt responsible business practices to reduce it, including:
- Sourcing energy exclusively from certified renewable sources, contributing to environmental protection.
- Use of recycled cardboard boxes and gradual migration to plastic-free packaging.

- Selection of an ethical supply chain, ensuring traceability of components.
Through these initiatives, we have reduced our emissions by more than 50 percent in the past three years, demonstrating a real commitment to combating climate change. In addition, we believe that the most powerful technology is trees, which is why we have been supporting projects to increase their numbers for years.

In 2020, Tiesse promoted the planting of 1,000 trees in the municipality of Calitri, in the province of Avellino.
Just another way to restore environmental balance. And we, who have always been involved in innovation and technology, are doing it by bringing a forest to life, planting 1,000 broadleaf trees from certified nurseries in Calitri, Irpinia. The slogan of the project is very dear to us: trees are nature's first technology. And Tiesse wishes to give back, to calibrate the weight of each of us on planet earth.
As of fall 2020, three areas have been upgraded with the planting of broadleaf trees thanks to Tiesse's joint work with expert agronomists and botanists who will also be able to ensure their maintenance and good preservation over time.
The trees planted include 250 locust trees, 235 holm oaks, 150 tamarisks, 100 ash trees, 98 alders, 82 hornbeams, 50 limes and 35 maples.
«We are ready to create a forest in Canavese (an area in the north-west of the Piedmont region, where our main office is located) - says Ombretta Miraglio, marketing manager of the eporediese company - and listen to proposals on this topic from the territory». Planting new trees is not the only front of action of Tiesse, if anything it is the last in order exclusively temporal. «For years - explains Luciano Lucrezia, technical director of Tiesse - we use only cardboard boxes with recycled material and aim for packaging without plastic».
Tiesse participated in the “Planting Trees, Collecting Books” initiative organized by OLI - Adriano Olivetti Leadership Institute.
On Saturday, April 9, 2022, the inauguration of the initiative was held and Tiesse donated 2 olive trees for the regeneration of the green spaces of the former Olivetti Social Services and Library buildings at 24 Via Jervis in Ivrea.
During the afternoon, in addition to the celebrations for the newly planted trees, a panel discussion was proposed on the topic of the social/emancipatory/therapeutic value of greenery from various points of view: in Adriano Olivetti's project, scientifically and through application examples and best practices.
