SUSTAINABILITY cleaning, Frascold has managed to keep pollutant levels
10% lower than the regulatory threshold. Finally, the CO2 footprint associated with the diff erent product families throughout the entire life cycle has been calculated, with the aim of off ering customers valuable information to help them understand and assess their own environmental impact. In conclusion, all the initiatives undertaken by Frascold refl ect its commitment to encouraging more sustainable and responsible choices throughout the supply chain.”
A photovoltaic system was the fi rst step in Frascold’s environmental strategy. How has photovoltaic adoption been integrated into the overall ESG strategy? Corrado de Gioia-Carabellese: “The photovoltaic system, installed to date, has been placed on the roof of the production plant and on the platform roofs over the canteen area. Thanks to this initiative, mains electricity usage has been reduced by about 25-30%, signifi cantly reducing energy dependence. This investment proved to be particularly advantageous, especially in a period of high electricity prices, confi rming the eff ectiveness of the system in a context of market instability. In 2023, the photovoltaic system met 29% of the plant’s annual needs. Looking to the future, the company is considering expanding the plant and adding 500 kW over the next two years, in addition to
installing heat pumps to replace gas boilers, going so far as to fully electrify the two offi ce buildings. Although we are aware of the diffi culties in achieving zero environmental impact, given the characteristics of the metalworking sector and the high energy demand, we are committed to implementing innovative solutions to get increasingly closer to this goal.” According to the company, Frascold’s commitment to a more sustainable and more responsible future translates into a combination of technological innovation, environmental strategies and advanced management practices. The initiatives described demonstrate how the company manages to combine the drive for operational effi ciency with respect for the environment, adopting solutions that anticipate market challenges. UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certifi cation, the progress related to Lean Manufacturing, the expansion of the photovoltaic system and the monitoring of emissions are part of an integrated ESG strategy, focused on a long-term vision.
Giuseppe Galli, CEO of Frascold, said: “Our dedication
to environmental sustainability is a cornerstone of our business strategy. At Frascold, we strongly believe that innovation and sustainability have to coexist harmoniously, charting a clear path towards a better future for us and for the generations to come.”
"
...it has led to signifi cant improvements in terms of productivity, ergonomics and
sustainability, as well as reducing costs and increasing workfl ow effi ciency."
