OUR STORY
Sustainability
Environmental issues affect us more and more significantly and it is therefore becoming extremely important for companies to find solutions to these challenges as well.
Since its inception VIBA dutifully pursues an equilibrium between sustainability and business. This has led us to avail ourselves of certified suppliers and to eliminate from our production cycle those substances that may have adverse implications on human health and the environment. The European Norm REACH is our benchmark.
In order to reduce the costs related to energy consumption and in full respect of environmental protection, we have installed photovoltaic generators on the roofs of our Tradate factory with panels capable of producing every year the 25% of our company’s energy needs, thus considerably reducing (about 500 tons/year) the polluting CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Among the other initiatives undertaken by our company in this regard, it is worth mentioning the ‘free cooling’ system which by taking advantage of the seasonal cold temperature refrigerates cooling process waters, thus avoiding the use of chillers. No less important is the replacement of lighting points (more than 2000 within our company) with ‘LED’ technology, which provides better luminosity and significant energy savings.
VIBA has organized an internal recycling system and with our personnel we carry on a policy of energy saving and collection system.
We take pride in our environmental concern and in providing a healthy and safe workplace for our employees. Therefore we constantly act to manage our facilities responsibly and with full respect for the world we live in.
