Greenhouse Gas emissions

Our plants and our headquarters scored an important reduction in their CO2 emission.

Impact minimization measures and projects

Together with an innovative heat pump in our manufacturing site in Biasca and an ongoing project to deliver a centralized, biomass-fuelled remote heating plant, our objective is to reduce our carbon footprint to almost zero. In our USA offices, we have reduced our environmental impact by relocating to a LEED Gold building. Further, several projects are ongoing to reduce print and photocopier paper use and to increase separate collection of waste for recycling in all our offices.
