Parma, Friday 24 October 2025<\/em> \u2013 in the last year, Parma Calcio has achieved ISO 14001 certification<\/strong>, installed 35 new recycling points at the Ennio Tardini Stadium, and launched several new sustainability initiatives, because, as CEO Federico Cherubini<\/strong> said, \u201cSporting success and social responsibility go hand in hand.\u201d It\u2019s all part of \u201cPlay Green<\/strong>\u201d, Parma Calcio\u2019s new project, unveiled inside the Ernesto Ceresini Museum, at the heart of the Tardini. The initiative combines environmental sustainability with the club\u2019s home ground, and much more. \u201cPlay Green\u201d marks the path Parma Calcio began in May last year, when it earned ISO 14001 environmental certification: a recognition transformed into culture, awareness, and participation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The same focus will be in place for Parma vs Como, the Serie A Enilive Matchday 8 fixture kicking off at 15:00 CEST. The Club is calling on its fans to play their part: the stadium will feature a new enhanced recycling system with 35 dedicated recycling points, supported by around 35 students from the \u201cFrancesco Severi\u201d Sports Science High School in Salerno and the Salesian Institute \u201cSan Benedetto\u201d in Parma. The young volunteers, wearing green bibs, will assist supporters \u2013 including those in the hospitality areas \u2013 explaining how to sort materials correctly.<\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_image id=”2″ type=”image” order=”3″ name=”image” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/PlayGreen_HD-042-20251024164406.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”null” data_box_image_description=”null” ][\/swp_image][swp_base_p id=”3″ type=”base_p” order=”4″ name=”base_p” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_title=”null” data_box_subtitle=”null” data_box_text=”<\/p>\n The presentation, moderated by Claudio Rinaldi<\/strong>, editor of La Gazzetta di Parma, began with greetings from Federico Cherubini<\/strong>, Parma Calcio CEO, and Stefano Perrone<\/strong>, the Club\u2019s COO. \u201cI’d like to extend a warm welcome from President Kyle J. Krause, who regrets not being here for such an important occasion in the Club\u2019s growth,\u201d <\/em>said Cherubini. \u201cI\u2019d like to emphasise that Parma Calcio aims to play an increasingly active role in this ongoing endeavour \u2013 not only at the Tardini but in the community as a whole. Achieving ISO 14001 certification was a tremendous effort, and for that I must thank Stefano Perrone. For us, sporting results and social responsibility are inseparable. And while results depend on factors we cannot always control, social responsibility depends entirely on our actions for the good of society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI want to thank all the partners who helped us achieve this certification \u2014 though it is neither a starting point nor a finishing line,\u201d <\/em>added Perrone. \u201cIn May 2025 we obtained ISO 14001 certification, which represents the beginning of a journey of growth. Our first action was to eliminate plastic bottles, saving around 70,000 bottles in a year \u2013 the equivalent of a football pitch. During the same period, we removed individual office bins and replaced them with recycling points throughout our Collecchio training centre. Now, with \u2018Play Green,\u2019 we want to extend these good practices to the Tardini. With enhanced recycling, we aim to develop a collective awareness, making \u2018we\u2019 the key word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_image id=”4″ type=”image” order=”5″ name=”image” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/PlayGreen_HD-050-20251024164425.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”null” data_box_image_description=”null” ][\/swp_image][swp_base_p id=”5″ type=”base_p” order=”6″ name=”base_p” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_title=”null” data_box_subtitle=”null” data_box_text=”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The workshop brought together the partners (including Gruppo Iovine<\/strong>, which supports Parma Calcio in this endeavour) who contributed to achieving ISO 14001 certification, sharing the value and impact of their collaboration. \u201cIt\u2019s been both a cultural and strategic journey. ISO standards are just that \u2013 standards \u2013 but here in Parma I\u2019ve found a strong cultural capital. We will strengthen Parma\u2019s social value through environmental education. The Club will become a conscious ambassador for it within its society,\u201d<\/em> said Luca Iovine, founder of Gruppo Iovine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alongside the Club\u2019s partners and Parma Mayor Michele Guerra<\/strong>, other local businesses and organisations shared their experiences in environmental and social sustainability: Luca Montagna<\/strong> (Art Caf\u00e8), Alessia Giovannelli<\/strong> (Corporate Events Manager, Bstr\u00f2), Maurizio De Vittis<\/strong> (Parma Non Spreca), Lorenzo Tadini<\/strong> (Commercial Director, BWT), Tamara Jalanbou<\/strong> (Head of Communications and External Relations, Colser), Susanna Curti<\/strong> and Alessandro Lori<\/strong> (Gas Sales), and Andrea Belli<\/strong> (Head of Communications and External Relations, Barilla).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe Club is setting a powerful example of how all organisations can row in the same direction towards sustainability, which means greater respect for the environment we live in,\u201d<\/em> said Mayor Michele Guerra. \u201cInstitutions must take action to change course, but to do that, we need role models. Parma is doing outstanding work, not only for the Club but for the city \u2013 a truly unique effort.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luca Montagna added: \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to supply Parma Calcio \u2013 our project is all about sustainable coffee.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alessia Giovannelli said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be part of this initiative. It\u2019s not easy to be 100% sustainable in our sector, but as a group we\u2019ve set three goals: to be as eco-friendly as possible, to use recyclable glass bottles (which we\u2019ve done for some time) and to promote inclusion by employing vulnerable people, giving them the chance to learn and grow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_image id=”6″ type=”image” order=”7″ name=”image” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/PlayGreen_HD-067-20251024164441.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”null” data_box_image_description=”null” ][\/swp_image][swp_base_p id=”7″ type=”base_p” order=”8″ name=”base_p” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_title=”null” data_box_subtitle=”null” data_box_text=”<\/p>\n Lorenzo Tadini commented: \u201cWith Parma, it was love at first sight: we share a foreign ownership deeply committed to sustainability.

We achieved certification back in 2005 and couldn\u2019t miss this occasion. Our electric vehicles will handle sustainable waste collection at the Tardini.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The event was more than a conference \u2013 it was a true ideas lab, where businesses, institutions, and community stakeholders discussed football\u2019s role in the ecological transition. It was also an opportunity to share some of the upcoming initiatives that will make the Tardini one of the greenest stadiums in Italy, with special attention to the partnership with Parma Non Spreca for food reuse in hospitality areas and to the active involvement of the fans.<\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_gallery id=”8″ type=”gallery” order=”9″ name=”gallery” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_gallery_preview=”69083″ data_gallery_title=”null” data_gallery_symbol=”0″ data_gallery_medias=”null” ][\/swp_gallery][\/swp_wrapper][\/swp_content]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [swp_content page_og_title=”\u201cPLAY GREEN\u201d: RISULTATI E RESPONSABILITA\u2019 SOCIALE UN BINOMIO INDISSOLUBILE PER IL PARMA CALCIO ” page_og_description=”null” page_og_type=”null” page_og_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_ogs\/PlayGreen_HD-108-20251024163053.webp” page_keywords=”null” page_description=”null” page_on_app=”1″ page_on_home=”1″ news_cover=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_news\/PlayGreen_HD-108-20251024163101.webp” news_exclude=”[]” news_include=”[]” news_include_continent=”[]” ][swp_wrapper id=”id” order=”1″ name=”blocco 1″ option_wrapper_color=”1″ option_wrapper_image=”1″ ][swp_hero_mini id=”0″ type=”hero_mini” order=”1″ name=”hero_mini” option_header_mini=”1″ option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_hero_title=”\u201cPLAY GREEN\u201d: RESULTS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AN INSEPARABLE PARTNERSHIP FOR PARMA CALCIO” data_hero_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/PlayGreen_HD-108-20251024163134.webp” data_hero_align_r=”1″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[185,112],"class_list":["post-69156","pr_news","type-pr_news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-en","tag-club-en","tag-corporate-social-responsability-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
