Commitment to Sustainable Development

Our company is deeply committed to promoting sustainability across all its operations. We recognize the importance of acting responsibly toward the environment, society, and future generations. We strive to minimize the environmental impact of our production processes and actively contribute to sustainable development.

Environment

We adopt practices and technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our armoured vehicles throughout both their production and operational life cycles. We promote energy efficiency, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and the recycling of materials.
All our painting processes use powder coating systems, now the standard method for every type of bodywork, from full armoured shells to internal protection kits.

Energy

Within the next two years, the company plans to install over 400 kWh of photovoltaic panels on the roof of its production facility, further reducing dependence on traditional energy sources.
We are equally committed to responsible sourcing of raw materials, particularly steel, which is purchased exclusively from steelworks with certified and balanced sustainability reports.

Recycling and Reuse

Our flagship products, integrated armoured bodies, are designed to be mounted on both thermal and electric chassis, requiring only minimal design variations. This unique feature allows us to reuse the armoured shells over time, replacing only the original subframe of the base vehicle.
This approach reduces waste, extends the service life of our vehicles, and optimizes resource utilization.

Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

We fully recognize the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are committed to implementing a clear strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. A concrete action plan has been defined to reach this objective, supported by measurable and verifiable milestones.

Social Responsibility

We actively participate in our community and adopt socially responsible business practices.
We support local initiatives, promote diversity and inclusion within our organization, and ensure safe and fair working conditions that respect human rights.

User Safety and Protection

The safety of armoured vehicle operators and end users is one of our highest priorities. We take our commitment seriously by designing vehicles that provide maximum protection and reliability in every operating condition.

Responsible Resource Management

We adopt responsible resource management practices aimed at reducing waste and minimizing the use of natural resources. We continuously optimize our production processes, encourage material recycling, and ensure efficient use of water and energy.

Transparency and Communication

We are committed to transparent communication regarding our sustainability practices and to actively engaging our stakeholders. We report on our progress, the challenges encountered, and the corrective actions undertaken to improve our environmental performance and production efficiency.

Collaboration and Partnership

We seek to collaborate with partners, suppliers, and organizations to promote sustainable solutions and share best practices within the industry.
We are open to sharing our experience and contributing to collective sustainability initiatives.

Governance

Fontauto is a well-established company with a new driving force, a young dynamic Board of Directors that embraces innovation while respecting tradition. This new leadership is deeply committed to sustainability, carrying forward a historic project with a vision oriented toward the future.

A Continuous Commitment

Our commitment to sustainability is a continuous and evolving process.

We regularly review our practices, assess opportunities for improvement, and adopt corrective measures to achieve our vision of a sustainable future for the armoured vehicle industry.
