GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

We monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions using certified methods and Carbon Footprint analysis

Every year we monitor our direct (Scope 1) and indirect, purchased-energy (Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions through specific sampling, to ensure constant control of our environmental performance.

In 2024 we carried out our first Organisational Carbon Footprint analysis in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 14064-1:2019 standard, to accurately measure the greenhouse gas emissions (Greenhouse Gases – GHG) linked to our activities.

Our key KPIs

2024

•        Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions): 563 tCO₂e (67% of our company’s total emissions)

•        Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased energy): 274 tCO₂e (33% of our company’s total emissions)

Our commitment

•        Increasing the number of electric charging points by the end of 2026.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Certified disposal and material recovery

We also translate our environmental commitment into responsible and rigorous management of the waste produced by our company activities. Waste is stored in dedicated areas and entrusted exclusively to authorised carriers and disposal operators, using dedicated management software (RENTRI).

We rigorously manage waste arising from production and maintenance – including plastics, metals, oils, WEEE, toner and gas cylinders – ensuring the correct separation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste so that it can be recovered or disposed of properly.

In 2024, 84% (460.53 tonnes) of waste was recovered and recycled, including cardboard and metals. The remaining 16% was sent to landfill, an area in which we continue to work to improve.

We have produced internal brochures on the correct management of waste and we distribute aluminium bottles to our employees to reduce the use of plastic.

Our commitment

•        By 2026, our objective is to define a waste-reduction plan aimed at increasing the recovery and recovery of value from materials along the supply chain.

ENERGY MIX

Energy is a central area of our path towards integrating ESG criteria, both for the direct impact of our consumption and for the role that renewable sources can play in reducing emissions.

For almost 30 years we have invested in generating electricity from photovoltaics at our facility. Even before the most recent expansion, the annual output of our systems was, overall, comparable to the company’s electricity demand.

The new system, with a peak capacity of 600 kWp, is added to the existing 944 kWp system, bringing total expected output to around 1,600,000 kWh/year.

The expansion also accompanies the increase in electricity consumption linked to the evolution of our production and plant processes, including the progressive electrification of certain loads, the replacement of traditional systems with heat pumps and the introduction of new technical equipment, such as the climate chamber.

Thanks to the new system, we are further increasing the amount of renewable energy generated at our facility. This allows us to cover a higher share of consumption during periods of photovoltaic generation, reduce our draw from the grid during peak sunlight hours and feed renewable energy back when generation exceeds the facility’s instantaneous demand.

On an annual basis, the ratio of electricity generated to electricity consumed is therefore very favourable: our systems contribute significantly both to covering the company’s demand and to the availability of renewable energy on the grid.

Our commitment

• We are continuing along the path of progressively reducing the energy impact of our activities, through increased generation from renewable sources, more efficient consumption and greater electrification of processes where technically and economically sustainable.
