Taking the equation Economy = Ecology as our starting point, we have constantly traveled along the path of responsibility in pursuit of an economy that serves humankind.
A process that should be viewed within the framework of a constant attempt to minimize the environmental impact that our production processes have on the local community, society and the environment, through constant improvement of efficiency and cutting-edge technology, with the ambitious target of contributing to achieve the European objective of carbon neutrality by 2050. The Group’s spheres of action in this area relate not only to atmospheric emissions, but also to the consumption of electricity, natural gas, water and waste production.
As regards emissions, the total CO2 saved between 2019 and 2021 across the Group as a whole (including abroad) was 44,773 tons of CO2, mainly due to electricity being purchased from virtuous producers with emissions/kWh generated below the relevant national average. In 2021 in particular, the % of certified green electricity used by GranitiFiandre Spa was 59.6% of its total annual requirement.
