Carbon Footprint, one more step in safeguarding and caring for the environment
Finder, in line with its general strategies to combat climate change, has obtained the certification of its GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions inventory in accordance with ISO 14064:2019, for its Almese and Sanfront production facilities.
Attention to the environment has always been part of the general framework of corporate governance, and the fight against climate change has inevitably become more important to the company over the last decade.
Finder, one of the leading manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical equipment, is aware that the transition to a climate-neutral economy is a strategic objective of the European Green Deal, so in 2020 it started to carry out an annual GHG (Greenhouse gas) inventory and has voluntarily certified its reporting in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2019.
Since then, there have been encouraging improvements in the environmental indicators, both overall (– 1.5% of tCO2e in FY 2022 compared to FY 2019, baseline) and in relation to production (– 22% of tCO2e in FY 2022 compared to FY 2019, baseline).
The ambitious goal of climate neutrality by 2050 involves:
- the self-production of energy from photovoltaic systems to partially cover internal needs
- purchasing the remaining energyalmost entirely from renewable sources
- improving the efficiency and upgrading the Group’s facilities through more efficient technologies and equipment, high thermal insulation, intelligent lighting and microclimate control systems
- internal procedures for the progressive reduction of waste and the consumption of natural resources.
Specifically, Finder’s contribution to the fight against climate change in 2022 included:
- a saving of 750,9 tCO2e from the self-generation of energy from renewable sources
- a saving of over 30 tCO2e associated with circular economy initiatives such as recovery of packaging, production waste and the reuse of by-products
- a saving of 5 tCO2e through projects to offset the environmental impacts of office buildings (planting of trees in designated areas).
While consolidating high standards of manufacturing excellence, Finder continues to invest in raw materials, packaging and business practices that have a reduced environmental impact and a significant recycled content (low carbon) to ensure that indicators such as CO2e emissions, waste generation and consumption of natural resources continue to decrease in line with global market expectations for sustainability.
