MAKING PAPER SINCE 1873
A family story rooted in the papermaking tradition, built over time through experience and the quality of our products.
For us, growing means staying true to who we are—continuing to listen to people, respect the local area, and strive every day to move forward.

Cartiere Carrara is one of Europe’s leading producers of tissue paper. The company combines a solid industrial heritage with a modern approach focused on innovation and quality. Today, Cartiere Carrara designs and manufactures a wide range of hygiene solutions in-house, for both professional and consumer markets. All production takes place in Italy and reaches over 50 countries worldwide. The quality of our products stems from an integrated production system that enables direct control over every phase of the process—from raw material transformation to logistics. Every choice is guided by a strong focus on sustainability: optimising resources, investing in efficient technologies, and caring for the environment and the people who make up the company. Caring for what’s next is the guiding principle behind our work: acting responsibly today to shape what comes tomorrow.

Sustainability

Cartiere Carrara regards sustainability as a fundamental criterion in both strategic and operational decision-making. Every stage of the production process is designed to reduce environmental impact, through the use of carefully selected raw materials, the adoption of efficient technologies, and the responsible management of resources. This commitment extends beyond industrial activities: collaboration with organisations, institutions, and partners who share a sustainability-driven approach is a core element of how we operate.

Caring for life

Embracing models of sustainable growth is a key part of Cartiere Carrara’s vision. The company promotes a transition towards a circular economy through targeted investments, technological innovation, and constant focus on the environmental compatibility of its operations. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) and the principles of the European Green Deal, Cartiere Carrara has developed an action plan that integrates environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and industrial continuity.

The Sustainability Manifesto

The Cartiere Carrara Manifesto is a strategic document made up of ten clear points outlining the company’s top sustainability priorities. It is not a theoretical statement, but a set of concrete, verifiable commitments aimed at creating lasting value in environmental, economic, and social terms. The Manifesto guides the company’s actions in the short, medium, and long term, with the objective of achieving measurable results by 2030.

Adherence to the Global Compact

Cartiere Carrara has joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest initiative dedicated to promoting corporate sustainability. By joining, the company confirms its commitment to operating in accordance with globally shared principles on human rights, labour, the environment, and transparency.
