The topics covered

Italian and European institutions have adopted a series of legislative/regulatory measures with the aim of protecting the environment, the climate and human health and quality of life. Precisely because of their transversal nature, these disciplines also regulate a series of aspects that affect – more or less directly – the Italian and European industrial system. The ‘Environment’ Working Group, set up within the association, has taken on the task of examining in
detailed examination of environmental legislation/regulations, to select the measures of interest to the sector and highlight the most relevant aspects. Following the activity carried out in collaboration with ANIE’s Environmental Service, the Working Group promoted an ad hoc event on environmental regulations dedicated to ANIE AssoAscensori and ALMA member companies.
