Sustainability Commitment
REDUCING THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
In recent years, we have put in place various initiatives to decrease the footprint of the manufacturing process.

- Installation of a co-generation plant to optimize consumption of fossil fuels and limit CO2 emissions
- Implementation of an Energy Savings Program to reduce TOE (tons of oil equivalent) and the carbon footprint of our activities
- Implementation of the Clean Energy Project through a solar photovoltaic system
- Reduction of water consumption thanks to the replacement of the cooling systems
- Installation of a solvent recovery unit to reduce VOC (Volatile Organic Substances) emissions
- ISO 14011 and SMETA 4 pillars certification
