Sustainability
PLANET EARTH IS OUR HOME
At COMAL, we take good care of both our people and the environment.
We lead the way in how we value sustainability in all that we do, and this impacts both our community and the environment that surrounds us. We strive to set an example for how to generate responsible growth and development with the help of technology and other smart systems, so as to fully respect the everyone in our community and all the natural heritage at our disposal.
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
LOWER EMISSIONS, LESS WASTE
We dedicate the same attention to environmental sustainability as we do to the quality of our products, exploring technological applications designed to minimize the environmental impact of our business. Sustainability means respecting the environment that gives us the land and raw materials that we rely on. To this end, we have installed our own cogeneration plant capable of simultaneously generating four types of energy (“quadgeneration”): electricity, steam, hot water, and energy for refrigeration. Together with this quadgeneration unit, a 1050 KW photovoltaic system enables us to cover over 90% of our energy needs.
A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION CYCLE
FEWER TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS ANNUALLY
THE EQUIVALENT OF 11,040 TREES PLANTED EACH YEAR
With these systems, we are able to avoid 1,840 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year, which is the equivalent of planting 11,040 trees. This is in addition, of course, to our commitment to preventing waste with the help of Industry 4.0 equipment and a water purification plant that enables us to give back to nature the water we use in production. It is our goal, and our commitment, to encourage everyone to adopt sustainable models of growth like ours.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SOCIETY
GROWING TOGETHER
The sense of belonging that ties all of us at COMAL to the community of Novi di Modena, where our company has been based for over thirty years, has led us to embark on an ambitious community project in support of ASD Novese, our locally, recently revived sports club. As an Official Partner, our goal is to show solidarity with initiatives aimed at uplifting and enhancing the territory in which we operate each and every day, providing our youth with a safe place in which to come together. This initiative enables them to grow not only as athletes but also, and most importantly, as individuals.
