RENOVA

Renova is an European brand of high quality and innovative products. Available in more than 60 countries worldwide, it offers colourful designs and new functional solutions through stylish and environmentally happy products. 

The origins of the Renova brand date back to the second decade of the 19th century, existing records dating back to 1818 of the use of Renova watermark on paper manufactured in the location where Renova still maintains its headquarters today. 200 years later, the 100% Portuguese company is present in more than 70 countries, distributed in five continents. In 2021, it has about 620 direct employees, supporting two industrial units and a logistics center in Portugal - Torres Novas, and a third production unit in Saint-Yorre, France.

Renova's first years of activity were dedicated to the manufacture and sale of writing, printing and packaging paper, beginning then, in the late 1950s, a pioneering and very innovative path in the development of tissue paper products for domestic and sanitary use. Renova founded this market in Portugal, and remains the leading brand. The strong innovative matrix, organizational agility and the ability to anticipate trends, has enabled Renova to continuously present new solutions to meet the needs and expectations of citizens.

A milestone in the history of the Renova was the launch of Renova Black, the first black toilet paper in the world, reaching the status of an iconographic product, breaking the dogma of “unthinkable” products. Innovation is the brand differentiation strategy, allowing it to continue to perform a mission of first mover. Renova's strong product innovation is always combined with a disruptive communication and the development of irreverent advertising campaigns or artistic commissions grounded on Renova’s values. 

In the beginning of the millennium, Renova launched the first range of paper products certified with the European Union Ecolabel. Renovagreen are products manufactured with 100% recycled paper, emphasizing a solid strategy regarding the environment.

More recently, the brand launched a range of products with paper packaging, biodegradable and recyclable, replacing plastic, in response to a growing expectation of citizens around the world.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

“Devastation of our natural environment, with destruction not only of our surroundings but also of man’s reverential awe for the beauty and greatness of a creation superior to him”

KONRAD LORENZ

Renova’s eco-policy, made public in June 1993, reflects our organisation’s desire to protect the Global Environment.

Trough all its activities, Renova is set to try its utmost:

1. Protect the ecosystem and use energy and all natural resources in a careful and rational way.

2. Promote new technological developments and applications with minimal environmental impact.

3. Develop an environmental protection awareness in all Renova members.

4. Establish a strong interaction with citizens and the community.

QUALITY POLICY

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognise that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."

V. Frankl, Man's search for meaning

SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY

“Man fulfils himself by using his intelligence and freedom. (…) by means of his work, man commits himself, not only for his own sake but also for others and with others. (…) moreover, he collaborates in the work of his fellow employees, as well as in the work of suppliers and in the customers’ use of goods, in a progressively expanding chain of solidarity.”

S.S. John Paul II in "centesimus annus"

ETHICS AND AESTHETIC

We want to build a better world.

This construction involves the humans who work with us, directly or indirectly, through their work, actions, and the way they are chosen and treated.

Much more than announcing and complying with legislation, preventing any form of forced labour, child or young labour, we aim to promote our own culture, the "Renova Culture", whose territory centers on a search for harmony.

The goal of building harmony in our common life translates to a revolution in the relationship between people.

We intend to start not from "me" to "you," but from "you" to "me," in a relational revolution where respect and recognition for the other is the essential factor.

We intend to celebrate, every day, what is "positive" in the universe in which we live and which surrounds us. Celebrating means collectively announcing what is positive, personalizing the facts whenever possible. Celebrating "me" with "you." Seeing the positive, the beauty, the good. Building harmony between life and the freedom of choice of each individual, exercised in their actions or omissions.

We intend to live in a culture where we value every exercise of this freedom in an ethics that is lived and witnessed daily.

In this harmony, we aim for much more than non-discrimination; we aim to naturally integrate any group or member who does not identify with the so-called "social majorities," based on gender, race, age, religion, orientation, ideals, physical appearance, language, origin, education, or nationality. We do not tolerate any form of harassment (sexual or moral).

We are committed to conduct business and relationships with integrity and transparency, and we do not tolerate any form of corruption or bribery.

We bring colour, light and movement into your life.
