Our CSR approach

Find out about our environmental and eco-friendly commitments

Did you know? Non-degradable residues that settle on the ground account for less than 1% of the total mass of the products used.
CSR approach note

Reinventing pyrotechnics:
active and committed towards zero impact

We have redesigned our work practices and adapted the products we use to minimize our environmental footprint - both on the ground and in the air. Here are some of the steps we’ve taken to minimize the effect of our operations on the environment, including the flora and fauna that Ruggieri is committed to protecting. Selected products

Selected products

Commitments on the products we select

  • Removal of plastics: Our fireworks now use cardboard shells to avoid microplastics.
  • Goodbye aluminium: We replace aluminium foil with cardboard plates or thick aluminium that remains attached to the firing support, thus avoiding the “confetti” effect.
  • Clean chemistry: We favor compositions with low perchlorate and heavy metal content, limiting the most polluting components such as barium. Our artistic department adapts to environmental constraints.
  • "Low-Smoke" formulas: Use of technologies limiting smoke emissions and atmospheric residues.
  • Priority given to short supply chains: and to European manufacturing, limiting long-distance transport

Wildlife and nature

Reducing as much as possible our influence on wildlife, imitating nature

Certification ISO 14001 Did you know?

Ruggieri is ISO 14001 certified for the quality and control of its environmental approach, offering you the guarantee of maximum control and transparency regarding our impacts.

The Acoustic Announcement Concept (Ruggieri process)

Annonce sonore Before each firing, we carry out a specific one-minute sequence: the gradual intensification of fireworks sounds, simulating the approach of a storm, which allows birds and animals to take shelter, thereby preventing them from flying off in panic and suffering fatal collisions.

Noise control

Ruggieri uses in-house tools to model sound propagation based on topography and weather conditions. We strictly adhere to the maximum limit of 120 dB at the safety distance, with a preference for “low-impact” effects (comets, soft peonies).

Carbon footprint

Attentive to our carbon footprint from our site to your operation

100% eco-friendly logistics, with sites that have a negative carbon footprint.

Did you know?

In addition to using a partner fleet powered by fuels made from used oils (–90% CO² emissions), our site in the south of France contains a carbon sink that allows us to proudly display a negative carbon footprint for several years, which is exceptional.

A decarbonized fleet

  • HVO100 biofuel: Since 2025, our logistics partner has converted its entire fleet to this fuel made from used oils, reducing CO² emissions by up to 90%.
  • Soft mobility: Priority to carpooling for our employees and teams, and to rail transport for our international operations and teams.

Compensation and local biodiversity

  • Precise carbon footprint and full compensation: Each show is subject to a precise estimate of its footprint, from manufacturing to combustion, and compensation at least equivalent to it.
  • Reforestation: We offset 100% of emissions by planting trees in France to restore degraded forests.
  • Beehive sponsorship: By choosing Ruggieri, you support beekeepers in Occitanie for the protection of bees.
  • Negative carbon footprint
  • Responsible waste management and durable equipment :
    • Remove non-essential polluting components used in firing in order to drastically reduce generated plastic
    • Collection, sorting and systematic return after each operation
    • Reuse and durable equipment: Mortars, systems and firing supports are reusable, designed and maintained for maximum longevity
    • Traceability and approved channels: All collected waste is traceable
