A PROVEN ENERGY
SAVING ATTITUDE

We are proud to announce that 100% of our annual electricity supply comes from green, renewable sources. Since 2009 we have been producing a significant share of our energy need through the installation of a solar panel system.
Discover more
Owing to an optimal placement, orientation, and weather conditions, our photovoltaic equipment is able to convert into actual electricity a high percentage of our annual energy requirement.

We registered very good performances
in the last two years:

2019
self-produced energy: 43%
purchased energy: 57%
sold energy: 47%*

2020 (*)
self-produced energy: 35%
purchased energy: 65%
sold energy: 30%*

*Of the produced solar energy
(*)In 2020 we registered a reduced energy production owing to the replacement and maintenance operations on the solar panels installed in 2009.

In 2022, we will further improve the achieved performances through the installation of a battery equipment, which will be able to store the excess energy, we are now bound to sell, and reuse it when the solar energy income is lower than the need.
Moreover, we can certify that the energy we purchase comes from renewable sources. Our provider, EICOM Energia, issues the international GO certification, which guarantees that their energy is produced by plants powered by renewable sources. Renewables are those forms of energy coming from energy sources that can regenerate (such as wind or water energy), or that will not be exhausted within a scale of human times (such as solar power or geothermal energy). Most important thing, their use does not affect natural resources for future generations.

REDUCTION OF
DANGEROUS EMISSIONS

Air, water and soil pollutants harm human health and the environment. It is a scientific evidence that the reduction of dangerous emissions of many pollutants have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air, water, and soil quality. Our careful procedures allow no dangerous leaks and a very low percentage of air polluting emissions.
Discover more
The CO2 emissions of our office and warehouse areas are equal to zero, and we have already taken measures in order to have zero emissions also in our production department starting from January 2022. Moreover, we are arranging stringent procedures for the 100% recycle of the waste materials within the end of 2022.
