Renewable energy sources

We invest in renewable energy generation and the responsible management of resources to reduce our environmental impact, strengthen the resilience of our industrial operations, and create long-term value. 
Renewable energy generation contributes not only to our decarbonisation objectives, but also to enhancing the Group’s energy independence. 
Metal recovery, an integral part of our manufacturing heritage, continues to guide our approach to circular economy principles and the efficient use of resources. At the same time, we are expanding our focus on sustainable water management, recognising it as a strategic area for future improvement initiatives.

Scope 1 – Direct emissions: include direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from the use of fossil fuels in the Group’s operations, as well as emissions resulting from refrigerant gas leakage.

Scope 2 – Indirect energy emissions: include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the electricity purchased and consumed by the Group. This category also includes purchased thermal energy, whose contribution is marginal.

Scope 3 – Indirect value chain emissions: include all other emissions not covered under Scope 1 and Scope 2, generated by the Group’s upstream and downstream activities across the value chain.
