✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Scope 1 emissions decreased slightly from 15,679 in 2022 to 15,608 tonnes of CO2 in 2023. Reduction in Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions is mainly due to a 10% decrease in diesel consumption.
- SDF Italia purchased 100% of its total electricity consumption from renewable sources, allowing the company to reduce the environmental impact of its Italian sites and, together with the renewable electricity produced by photovoltaics at the Chinese site, allowed the Group to avoid the emission of 5,470 tonnes of CO2 in 2023.
- Total waste recovered of 15,892 tonnes, which corresponds to 99% of the 16,046 tonnes of waste produced by all plants during 2023.
