Sustainability
Vision
In Lisapharma's vision, the environment and social responsibility occupy a paramount importance place. We are working to make our contribution to protect the environment and to support the community well-being.
The forest of Lisapharma
With the help of Treebu S.r.l. S.B. we have created a forest of 100 Paulownia plants to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and obtain other environmental benefits.
We really liked the idea of contributing with concrete actions, and Paulownia is a species that gives us significant advantages and positive effects. In fact, its characteristic is to absorb a lot of CO2 (up to 10 times more than other species) and, at the same time, to remove heavy metals from the soil.
It is a tree that grows very quickly, in fact in the first year it can reach 5 meters in height and 10/12 cm in diameter at ground level. Around the age of six it reaches full maturity and after the first cut the plant does not die but regrows from its stump four or five times again.
Its beautiful flowers attract insects and bees, thus facilitating pollination and honey production.
The leaves of the Paulownia can reach a diameter of about 80 cm, and once they fall, they fertilize the soil. If collected, they can be used as a protein supplement in livestock feed.
It is a very strong plant against diseases and parasites and therefore does not require phytosanitary treatments or polluting chemical fertilizers.
It produces excellent wood used in the most diverse fields and sectors. It is a very resistant timber with remarkable insulating and sound-absorbing properties. It is water-repellent, resistant to torsion, compression and bending. It is used in construction, furniture and shipbuilding.
A plant friendly to the environment, therefore with this intervention, Lisapharma has removed 10 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere, contributing to the protection of the planet.
Environmental responsibility
We have contributed to preserve the Venice lagoon where macroalgae grow and proliferate,which significantly capture carbon dioxide. With this initiative, Lisapharma has helped to remove 10 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Social responsibility
Lisapharma supports Banco Farmaceutico (not-for-profit organization) with donations of medicinal products for emergencies.
Gender equality
Lisapharma offers equal employment and professional growth opportunities to women and men. At the moment more than 55% of the total number of employees is female, of which a significant portion holds top positions.
Employee well-being and health
Human capital has always been considered a great value for Lisapharma. With the aim of strengthening prevention and promoting a healthy lifestyle, Lisapharma offers its employees some conventions in cooperation with health and diagnostic centres, gyms, swimming pools and spas.
