This enables to develop the “continuous improvement” process that is considered to be essential by the international standards as well as company, in order to ensure the total respect for the environment, the full reliability of the products supplied and the satisfaction of each customer.
Energy Efficiency
SPEA is seriously committed to enhancing the energy efficiency of our facilities and is continuing to do so, by identifying improvements and environmental sustainability measures.
Water and energy consumptions are continuously monitored by the Environmental Management System with the aim of reducing waste and optimizing consumptions.
SPEA is constantly training its staff on new applicable environmental regulations and on the correct practices for reducing the energy consumption.
Staff trainings on environmental sustainability have also brought to the decrease of water consumption per capita.
Waste Management
From 2009 and onwards, the proportion of recycled waste has more than doubled. This is due to numerous activities undertaken to educate the staff, together with the selection of eco-friendly materials.
Great attention is paid to the disposal of dangerous substances and to correct separation of mixed packaging. We have also eliminated any toxic substance: none of our products contains lead, Rare Earth Materials, PVC, deca BDE, mercury or arsenic.
Emissions
In the last biennium, SPEA’s investments to decrease emissions have been remarkable.
The transition to latest-generation natural gas heating systems has resulted in a reduction of emissions by about 30%, with considerable economic savings.
Furthermore, the fleet of cars has been involved in this important ecological operation.
Paper consumption
You get the best results from the details. In SPEA each printer is programmed to print rear/front in economic mode.
A simple trick that allows SPEA save tons of paper each year and hundreds of ink cartridges.
