\u201cAt Drupa 2024 we present many initiatives and products that could redefine sustainability standards of printing industry. Uteco aims to become the first printing machinery manufacturer to introduce a reference practice to obtain ESG<\/strong> (Environment, Social, Governance) certification for its products, in collaboration with international certification bodies such as UNI, the ACIMGA trade association and an excellent converter like SIT. This synergic collaboration<\/strong> combines Uteco’s technical expertise with the regulatory expertise and operational experience of its partners and customers, ensuring that the process towards ESG certification is comprehensive and rigorous. Finally, we have also launched the EcoVadis certification as a further element of value for an important positioning in the converting supply chain.<\/strong> To promote all these initiatives in the ESG field, we have organized, during the fair, specific events where all the news will be presented but above all you will be able to see our ESG technologies in action, with an exceptional live demo! We are waiting for you at our stand A02 in hall 10.<\/strong> Furthermore, to stay updated on all Uteco events and presentations in DRUPA, we have launched UtecoAPP, an application downloadable from the AppStore (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).<\/strong> With UtecoAPP, you’ll get exclusive access to behind-the-scenes previews, product videos, and articles highlighting our award-winning technologies and ESG advancements\u201d.<\/p>\n
