A concrete commitment to the environment

Concern for the environment is at the core of Metlac's strategy. For years we have been working to reduce our ecological impact by implementing actions aimed at optimizing resources and reducing emissions. Our strategy is based on an integrated approach that combines technological innovation, energy efficiency and responsible supply chain management.

Every day we strive to improve our environmental performance, through the use of renewable energy, reducing the consumption of natural resources and minimizing production waste. The goal is to help build an industry that is increasingly sustainable and mindful of the future of the planet.

More efficiency, less waste

A path to sustainability

Optimizing energy consumption is a key aspect of our sustainability journey. Therefore, Metlac constantly monitors its energy needs, adopting solutions to make production more efficient and less impactful. The installation of advanced monitoring systems allows us to identify areas for improvement and progressively reduce energy consumption.

Thanks to investments in renewable energy, the percentage of energy from sustainable sources is steadily increasing, with the goal of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. In addition, production process efficiency enables us to curb energy waste and improve our overall performance.

Direct and indirect emissions

Toward reducing the carbon footprint

The fight against climate change goes through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Metlac accurately measures its impact, taking into account both direct emissions (Scope 1), resulting from production activities, and indirect emissions (Scope 2), related to the consumption of electricity purchased from third parties.

We have adopted a long-term decarbonization strategy, which includes targeted energy efficiency measures and the integration of innovative technologies to progressively reduce our environmental impact. Constant monitoring enables us to identify key emission sources and implement corrective actions to minimize them.

Innovation and sustainability

For Metlac, sustainability is not just a goal, but a strategic driver that guides every choice we make. Therefore, we constantly invest in projects to improve our environmental performance and promote more responsible use of natural resources.

From developing new eco-friendly materials to integrating advanced technologies to reduce waste, our approach is geared toward continuous innovation. Through collaborations with universities and research centers, we investigate cutting-edge solutions to lower emissions and improve production efficiency.
