Improving energy efficiency
Our target for 2030 is to achieve 0-emission manufacturing by strengthening self-generation of renewable energy from photovoltaics and hydropower.
Serica 1870 has a 212-kwatt photovoltaic system capable of guaranteeing 1/4 of the energy needs, while an additional 100-kwatt photovoltaic system is installed at the Jacchetti site in Como to guarantee 1/5 of the plant's needs. The purchase of the remaining electricity is 100% from renewable sources, thus zeroing the CO2 load and improving the environmental impact.
