Antiba In 2024, Antiba measured its ESG performance through the SÌ Rating developed by ARB Spa.

The Sustainability Impact Rating (SI Rating) is an algorithm based on international guidelines and standards such as the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) Materiality Map, the sustainability-related ISO certifications, the industry’s best practices and European regulations and laws. It provides companies with a simple and accessible tool for assessing the alignment of company activities with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and environmental and social sustainability issues. Antiba achieved an overall result of 65%, which is equal to the START level of the SI Rating. It’s worth mentioning that the company achieved the best scores in the areas of Environmental Management System (87%), Quality of Service – Product (91%) and Corporate Social Responsibility (60%).

“We will close the 2024 financial year with a remarkable increase in turnover,” confirms Paolo Balducci, founder of the company. “We are optimistic and continue to believe that there is still considerable room for growth. For this reason, we decided to expand by acquiring part of the shares of the Santa Croce-based Conceria Mangusta, a longstanding tannery specialized in the production of finished calf leather for belts"

Over the years, Antiba has pursued a policy focused on getting certified in fields such as social responsibility, quality, traceability, and environmental sustainability, in order to guarantee the respect of the highest industry standards. Following the market requests, the number of certifications achieved by the company has increased year after year.

We are proud to inform you that our system for managing health and safety in the workplace is now certified according to the international standard ISO 45001.

It proves that we go beyond what the law requires: we are committed to improving by focusing on ongoing training of workers for the prevention and mitigation of health and safety risks at work.

The commitment to improve our social and environmental performances are proved by the certifications achieved over the years. In 2023, in addition to the LWG GOLD medal, we have certified our system of social responsibility according to the international SA8000 standard, which makes us one of the very few SA8000-certified tanneries in Italy.

Conceria Antiba, the company specialized in the production of finished goat and calf leathers for leather goods and footwear, doubled the turnover achieving almost €50 million in 2022. The production of finished leathers increased to more than 1.120 million m2 last year.

Dopo l’upgrading strutturale, Antiba prosegue nel suo percorso verso la transizione sostenibile alzando l’asticella green del proprio approccio. La conceria toscana ha predisposto il suo primo report di sostenibilità, riferito all’anno di rendicontazione 2021. Anno di passaggio e di grandi investimenti, che l’hanno portata nel 2022 a trasferire tutte le attività nella nuova sede, internalizzando alcune fasi del processo produttivo.

La Conceria Antiba pensa in grande e accelera nell’innovazione. Oggi l’azienda è guidata da Paolo e Graziano Balducci; alla famiglia, coinvolta fino alla terza generazione, si sono poi affiancate le figure di Maicol Dei e Simone Toschi, in qualità di responsabili di produzione.

Oltre che nella lavorazione di pelli caprine conciate al vegetale, Antiba negli anni si è specializzata anche nella lavorazione di pelli di vitello conciate al cromo e chrome free per calzatura e pelletteria di lusso.
