A model of sustainable and responsible growth that, although it has accelerated in recent years, has never lost its focus, oriented towards people, territory and the environment.

Legami, a Bergamo-based company specialising in giftware, allocates 5% of its profits each year to projects carried out with the direct involvement of society and oriented towards environmental and social sustainability, to protect the territory and improve the quality of life of communities.

Founded by Alberto Fassi in 2003, Legami is present in Italy and abroad (in over 70 countries), through a network of over 160 boutiques with the aim of reaching 180, 10 thousand corners, a turnover of over 245 million for the fiscal year 2024 and a forecast of 300 million for 2025.

It has also been a benefit company since 2023 and has recently presented its Sustainability Report 2024, confirming a global growth path based on responsibility, innovation and a positive impact on people and the environment.

Sustainable Packaging

Legamo has partnered with Movopack, a Milan-based start-up that introduces reusable bags to the e-commerce market based on a simple and affordable reverse logistics system. After delivery, customers can return the bag free of charge, which is sanitised and reused up to 20 times, estimating an 80% reduction in the impact of e-commerce packaging. This model decreases emissions and costs while reinforcing the sustainable brand identity.

Dreamland, an area dedicated to biodiversity

In Bergamo, in 2023, Dreamland, Legami's protected nature park was inaugurated to encourage the restoration and protection of biodiversity. It is an area that in two years has grown from 3 hectares to almost 30, inaccessible to the public to allow flora and fauna to grow at their own natural pace.

"For us, sustainability is not a goal in itself, but a way of thinking and acting that guides every decision and that translates into tangible actions, as the Dreamland project demonstrates," explains Natascia Ghilardi, the company's Regulatory & Sustainability Manager. "Our commitment is to transform Dreamland into the largest metropolitan area dedicated to the protection of plants and animals, not excluding a future expansion hypothesis in other national and international cities where Legami is and will be present.

Social Initiatives

In 2024, Legami launched, with the Municipality of Bergamo, the 'Exhausted for the Planet' project, involving over 11 thousand young people in educational activities on school plastic recycling. The support to Cesvi Foundation also continues, through the Wonder School and Light Up the Dream programmes, which support children in fragile situations through the donation of essential school kits and the awarding of scholarships. "Sustainability means 'doing better'," says Massimo Dell'Acqua, managing director of the company. "Our goal is a business model that generates value over time, without ever compromising on respect for people and the planet.

People at the centre

Legami combines economic growth with social and environmental responsibility through high-impact initiatives aimed at employees and the local area. The company invests in welfare with an in-house canteen, a company gym and a crèche soon to be built. Women represent 559 of the 682 employees, confirming their position as the majority of the workforce.

On the environmental front, Legami will offset its CO2 emissions from 2021. In 2024, it started the first Life Cycle Assessments on iconic products such as the Erasable Pen.
