EVOCA Group announces its ESG commitment

EVOCA Group, a producer of professional coffee machines, says that it has formalised its purpose and values and initiated a process of transformation towards sustainability.

Andrea Zocchi, CEO of EVOCA, announced to all employees that a new path in the sustainable evolution of the Group was about to begin. In the current socio-economic context, marked by profound changes, EVOCA has taken the important step of reassessing the purpose of the company and its activities, in relation to its employees and its stakeholders, he said.

This period of reflection has led to the evolution of the group’s identity and its action plans, and consequently, a sustainable transition project has been initiated, involving environmental, social and governance aspects. The project will be guided and measured according to ESG criteria (environment, social and governance).

Called “The Taste of Sustainability”, the project seeks to identify and promote, internally and externally, each step the group takes towards improving its sustainability. The overall objective is to generate a concrete culture of sustainability, for both EVOCA’s staff and its stakeholders.

EVOCA says that “The Taste of Sustainability” represents a longterm commitment, the results of which will emerge progressively and continuously, and will be a vital part of EVOCA’s ethos until its evolution towards maximum sustainability is completed.

“We have chosen this name for the project for a simple reason,” said EVOCA CEO, Andrea Zocchi. “We want to connect the exceptional sensory experience that we offer to our consumers every day to the taste, the passion and the commitment with which we continue to carry out our activities. We all want to live in a world in which the environment is respected, in which our actions are based on solid principles and the well-being of the people around us is paramount.”

At the same time as the project was announced, a new corporate purpose was also introduced – “great coffee to inspire a better world, anywhere and anytime”.

“By ‘purpose’, we refer to our desire to guarantee a magnificent sensory experience to every person who tastes a product from one of our machines,” added Andrea Zocchi.

“We strive to ensure that this experience is consistent, at anytime, anywhere in the world; without forgetting that this commitment must be met with the utmost respect for the environment, for individuals and for society at large, now and in the future.”

EVOCA Group manufactures professional coffee machines for both the Ho.Re.Ca. and OCS sectors, marketing its products through eight brands - Necta, Wittenborg, Saeco, Gaggia, Ducale, SGL, Newis and Cafection. Today, EVOCA has over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries around the world, the group employing 1,800 employees and with revenues of over €400 million.
