Predda Niedda Strada 30, 07100 Sassari (SS), Italy, VAT number IT 03006910909, ATECO classification 47.52.40. GASPA MACCHINE is a dealership specializing in the sale of new and used agricultural and construction machinery, including agricultural tractors, mini-excavators, wheel loaders, excavators, tandem rollers, telescopic handlers, and construction equipment \u2014 primarily from leading brands such as JCB. Our business is predominantly focused on the valorization and commercialization of second-hand machinery, actively contributing to a circular economy model that reduces the production of new industrial goods with high environmental impact. This policy applies to all business activities of GASPA MACCHINE, including online sales conducted through the website gaspa-macchine.com, and covers every product sold and shipped to the following European countries: Italy Austria Finland France Germany Netherlands Poland Romania Spain Switzerland The ESG policy of GASPA MACCHINE is not a generic statement of intent: it precisely describes the operational measures, regulatory constraints, and concrete responsibilities that our company commits to respecting in the daily activity of selling, transporting, and providing after-sales assistance for machinery. It is drafted in compliance with current European and national environmental regulations, with the objective of providing maximum transparency to our customers and all stakeholders who interact with our online store. Please Note: this policy is specifically drafted for the nature of our sector \u2014 the buying and selling of heavy agricultural and construction machinery \u2014 and takes into account the environmental and social risks inherent to this type of equipment: exhaust emissions, hydraulic fluids and lubricants, lead-acid batteries, end-of-life tires, electronic components, and special packaging for road transport via specialized trucks. Section 2 Our Circular Economy Model The core of GASPA MACCHINE&#8217;s sustainability lies in our business choice to specialize in the buying and selling of used machinery. Every machine we sell is an already-produced asset whose life cycle is extended and whose residual value is preserved and transferred to a new user. This model fits perfectly within the framework of the European Union Circular Economy Action Plan (COM\/2020\/98), which focuses on waste reduction and extending the useful life of industrial products. Environmental Impact Avoided Through Resale The production of a new agricultural tractor requires on average between 8 and 15 tons of steel, in addition to components made of cast iron, aluminum, copper, rubber, and composite materials. Every used machine we sell avoids the need to produce an equivalent new machine, helping to reduce the consumption of extractive raw materials, the energy consumption of manufacturing plants, and the CO\u2082 emissions associated with the manufacturing supply chain. ~85% of machinery sold is second-hand 10 European countries reached with direct delivery 0 parts dismantled or sold for spare parts without traceability 100% of machinery verified and documented before sale Circular Economy Principles Applied to Our Business Extending useful life: we select machinery that is still functionally reliable and make it available to new buyers who extend its use, delaying or avoiding its disposal. Transparency on asset condition: each used machine is presented with detailed photographic documentation, indication of working hours and, where available, maintenance history, to ensure an informed evaluation by the buyer. Reduction of industrial waste: our business does not generate production waste. Any secondary materials removed during machinery inspection (filters, used oil, batteries) are delivered to authorized collection centers. Resource conservation: promoting the purchase of used rather than new machinery reduces the demand for new industrial production, helping to conserve non-renewable natural resources. Alignment with the European Green Deal: GASPA MACCHINE&#8217;s business model aligns with the objectives of the European Strategy for Industrial Sustainability and with the principle of &#8220;Design for Longevity&#8221; promoted by the EU, which encourages keeping consumer and industrial goods in use for as long as possible, rather than their rapid disposal. Section 3 Classification and Environmental Status of Machinery GASPA MACCHINE sells two main categories of machinery: agricultural machinery (tractors, agricultural telescopic handlers) and construction and earthmoving machinery (mini-excavators, wheel loaders, excavators, tandem rollers). Each category is subject to a specific regulatory framework regarding emissions, safety, and environmental impact. In the product sheet for each machine for sale on our website, we provide available information regarding the environmental classification of the machine.
