Check-list of actions
In order to get Io Riduco! label, two evaluation tools exist so that the firms' evaluation
can be objective, scientific and shared:
- a checklist base for the large retail of different sizes according to the retail type:
hypermarkets, supermarkets and small supermarkets;
- a Decalogue for small retailers. The Decalogue is a versatile and clear tool. The ten
engagements can be taken by any shop, either selling products (cloths, stationary,
etc.) or selling services (barber, beauty centre, etc.).

Common procedure to grant ZEROTRADE diploma
The checklist, filled out and signed by the shop representatives, will be the selfassessment for joining the network.
Once it has been self-assessed and declared that the threshold score has been
exceeded, the shop is added to the list of shops joining Io Riduco! network and it will
enjoy the benefits provided.
After the label Io Riduco! has been delivered, an independent body verifies during
the following year the shop compliance.
In the yearly improvement phase, the large retailers have to gradually improve their
environmental performances in order to keep the label onward.
Monitoring Procedure
An inspector charged by Cesena Municipality will take an appointment with the
owner or the manager, will visit the shop, will verify that the environmental criteria, as
mentioned in the shop self-declaration form, are fulfilled and that minimum score is
reached.
The inspector will draw up a monitoring report indicating all the commitments and
actions to be pursued by the shop, with annexed any document (digital format or
printed on paper) proving that the verification has been completed.
At the end of the verification process the inspector will issue the shop manager or
owner with a report describing the verification steps and stating the final evaluation.
