How? Through the reduction and the constant monitoring of our activities.
Since 2015, we have been adopting the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the leading system for measuring climate impacts. Annual completion of the CDP’s Climate Change questionnaire has become a guide for our environmental policies. The CDP report helps us improve our climate change governance by comparing ourselves with similar companies.
In recent years, we have improved our Score in the Climate Change questionnaire and Supplier Engagement report by two points, from D to C, bringing us closer to the European average in the automotive sector. Special attention has been given to Business Strategy & Scenario Analysis and energy and emissions management (Scope 1 and 2).
Thanks to the start of the collaboration with Sfridoo, an Italian company that helps small-medium enterprises and large industrial groups in the transition to the circular economy, we have embarked on the path of waste management process innovation.
In 2023:
During the year 2023, we reduced our gas use, thanks to improvements to our line.
The ‘goal remains to give continuity to this process of containing fuel consumption, moving more and more to electricity, which, thanks to the use of green photovoltaic energy, will limit our environmental impact.
In 2023 we installed a 4.6 MWh photovoltaic system at the Adro (BS) site, a significant step toward using renewable energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Although the official start was mid-year, we have already observed the first results: 12% of the Adro plant’s energy needs are covered by self-generation, avoiding the production of 339 tons of CO2.
At Streparava Componentes Automotivos LTDA (SCAL) in Sete Lagoas, Brazil, we have obtained the supply of 100% of the electricity used in the plant from renewable sources. Compliance with all environmental standards and regulations is certified by Pacifico Energia Serviços Ltda, a company that guarantees that our energy suppliers are 100% renewable and carbon-free. In this way, we were able to offset CO2 emissions
related to Scope 2 relative to an energy consumption of 2,570 MWh during the year 2023.
These are concrete gestures that, day after day, we put in place to improve our impact on what surrounds us: people, the environment, the territory and our partners. This report is more than just an accounting of our activities; it is a testimony to our ongoing commitment to create value not only for the company itself, but also for the communities in which we operate. As our corporate mission statement states, our daily commitment is to all the stakeholders of today and tomorrow.
