We do not believe in abstract promises. We believe in actions. The kind that truly change people’s lives, improve communities, and transform everyday gestures into real impact.
It is with this spirit that we at Modula continue our commitment to a more sustainable and shared future.
Water Is Life, and It Must Be So for Everyone
On the occasion of World Water Day, since 2023 Modula has proudly supported Rock No War and the project “L’Acqua è Vita” — an initiative created to bring drinking water to communities where it is still considered a privilege rather than a fundamental right.
Over the years, more than 90 wells and irrigation systems have been built across 28 countries, providing clean water to thousands of people, especially children. An intervention that goes far beyond water supply: it means health, dignity, education, and new development opportunities for entire communities.
The initiative involves countries such as Malawi, Ethiopia, Somalia, Ecuador, Nigeria, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Benin, the Amazon region, Uganda, Chad, Cambodia, and Rwanda, with the goal of expanding further thanks to collected donations. The wells are built by local companies, generating employment and value directly within the communities.
The project fully aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda, contributing in particular to Goal 6, which aims to ensure clean water and adequate sanitation for all. In a context worsened by climate change — with prolonged droughts and floods that compromise crops and food security — ensuring access to water means combating malnutrition and chronic vulnerability.
Providing water is not charity. It is responsibility.
The Future Does Not Wait. It Is Built.
Building the future also means investing in young people. For this reason, we support the project “Dal coraggio alla visione,” promoted by Proteo Engineering, which connects schools, students, and businesses in the Modena area.
Throughout 2026, students from I.I.S. A. Ferrari, I.I.S. Alessandro Volta, and ITS Maker Academy will take part in a journey offering practical career guidance tools and direct opportunities to engage with the world of work, helping them imagine and build their professional paths with greater awareness.
During the first meeting, our President, Franco Stefani, delivered a clear message: do not wait for the future to happen. Build it with curiosity, passion, and discipline.
This is the same approach that guides every one of our corporate decisions. For us, innovation means sharing experiences, opening doors, and creating opportunities.
Even Small Actions Make a Difference
Sustainability is not only about major international projects. It is also about everyday attention.
On March 30, we celebrate International Day of Zero Waste with the #RICICCAMI project, developed together with Human Maple. The initiative included installing dedicated ashtrays in our plants to collect and recycle cigarette butts — a waste product that often goes unnoticed yet is highly polluting and can remain in the environment for up to 12 years. Today, those cigarette butts are transformed into new resources, becoming reusable objects and materials.
In the spirit of the circular economy, together with Lyreco we have also launched a system to collect and recycle end-of-life PPE at our Salvaterra facilities. Shoes, gloves, filters, helmets, and safety glasses are no longer simply waste: they are transformed into athletic tracks, sound-absorbing panels, anti-shock mats, and new everyday items.
To date, we have already recovered 110 kg of PPE that will be given new life. A tangible result that demonstrates how every conscious choice can generate value.
One Vision: Creating Value Beyond Boundaries
At Modula, we believe that social responsibility is not a separate chapter, but an integral part of how we do business.
Bringing water where there is none.
Supporting young people as they build their future.
Reducing environmental impact by turning waste into resources.
These are all pieces of a single vision: creating value that goes beyond the product, beyond the market, and beyond business — enriching our brand with deeper meaning and making a tangible contribution to society’s well-being.
Because the future is not something that simply happens.
It is something we choose to build, together, every day.
