GHG emissions data from our global footprint operations is allowing us to analyze our scopes 1 and 2 emissions at the source and design action plans to reduce them.

Sustainability isn’t something new in our Group. In the last decade, we have done many technical and organizational improvements to support the sustainable development of our activities. The problem was that we did not really measure or evaluate our achievements.
The new approach to sustainability is very important to define our goals and analyze the results of our actions. Having a team focused on Sustainability helps also to coordinate each other, and to share best practices.
In my area, a Production Plant, we focused on different topics related to Sustainability: Energy savings, Water savings, Waste reduction, and reduction of plastic in our canteen. To achieve Energy and water savings we divided the activity into different steps. The first step, the most important one, is to increase the data we have by installing more energy and water meters. Analyzing data is possible to understand in which areas or equipment we have inefficiencies and evaluate what to do to perform better. The last step is, of course, to put in place the solutions. Sometimes the solution is so simple that you blame yourself you did not think about it before.

In general terms, our engagement and understanding of Sustainability has progressed rapidly and to a much higher degree.
The involvement at every level is evident and will undoubtedly bring the benefits expected although external uncontrollable factors such as limitations in critical raw materials will tap the speed at which this may occur.
In the industrial area, groups that work on the reduction of water consumption and wastes primarily have emerged, creating efforts to address challenges that will bring contribution to the efforts of the group.
