Sustainability
At Orlandi, a focus on sustainability is the way we manage and operate our business to best serve our customers, while caring for the environment. Our mission is to align business performance with a commitment to environmental care, which is expressed though advancements in our facilities, operations, and product solutions.
Our Manufacturing Facilities Orlandi’s two main facilities in the United States housing office, laboratory, development and manufacturing operations are located on Long Island, NY. Long Island power authorities utilize Natural Gas in place of Fossil Fuel/Coal to generate electricity, making Long Island one of the country’s most environmentally friendly locations for manufacturing. Orlandi Laboratories in Chattanooga, TN is a state-of-the-art LEED certified manufacturing facility. We proudly participate with local municipalities in energy conservation programs with initiatives such as shutting down office lights during designated break times, raising building A/C temperatures during peak usage hours, developing and building energy efficient machinery and most recently installing state of the art LED light systems throughout all of our properties.
Our Operations Orlandi’s “Green Committee” focuses on “environmental responsibility” in the workplace. We educate, encourage and enable all employees to take pride in preserving our planet and natural resources. Orlandi is committed to track our Green House Gas Emissions and issues an environmental assessment document annually to its employees. We participate with Ecovadis and Manufacture 2030 to track our status and performance in various aspects of corporate social responsibility, including environmental topics. We seek to follow guidelines of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for a circular economy. We attained a silver rating in the USA and a gold rating for our affiliate Orlandi Sarl in Paris France, putting us in the 85th and 95th percentile respectively. We share our Ecovadis rating with certain customers upon request. Orlandi recycles pertinent manufacturing paper and corrugated waste that would otherwise end up in the general trash. We also recycle, sell or responsibly discard, expired or abandoned fragrance oil materials.
