Sustainability according to Valsir

Efficient processes and reliable products are not the
only parameters that are taken into consideration
when assessing the quality of a company’s business.

Of equal importance is the capacity of the company and its management to design and implement manufacturing processes that are sustainable from an environmental perspective.

 

The awareness of the environmental impact of our activities has given way to increasingly diversified and structured initiatives and the subject of sustainability has become central, so much so that it actively encompasses all areas of the organization.

The commitment of Valsir is divided essentially along two lines:

On the one hand it concentrates on the products with the creation of environmentally and recyclable goods, and on the other hand it involves the implementation of sustainable production processes inside buildings with a high energy efficiency.

Constant commitment in pursuing of an environmentally friendly behaviour has been awarded by the excellent results achieved, which we will illustrate here and are an incentive today to persist with the continuous improvement of products and processes.


Sustainability Report

The collection of data and facts related to our daily commitment towards sustainability is now in our Sustainability Report, born from the desire to establish an open dialogue with our Stakeholders, merging the achievements we obtained to the targets we set ourselves for the future.

The Report gathers the Company's with an overview from 2018 to 2019, in order to have a picture on the five-year period.
In preparing the financial statements we followed the GRI G4 guidelines covering the three major themes for Valsir: Environment and Energy, People and Territory, and Processes Alliance of Values.



A building in energy efficiency Class A

stabilimento-classe-a

The logistics and production hub in Vobarno (BS), built as an extension of the previous Valsir production area which has always been used for the production of multilayer pipe, was meticulously designed to reduce the environmental impact and energy consumption.

stabilimento-vobarno-02

Completed in record time

The building was completed in record time, from August 2011 to August 2012, in just one year, from the acquisition and demolition of the dilapidated disused factory to commissioning. It was one of the first production facilities in Europe to be awarded a class A rating in energy efficiency.

Perfect integration
with the environment

The materials for the exterior were chosen to help the building to blend in with the surrounding environment, thus reducing the visual impact as much as possible.

Quality of the
working environment

Positioning of the production plants was studied in order to reduce the noise emissions to the nearby residential area to a minimum.

Much consideration was given to consumption optimization: the building was insulated in order to reduce energy loss to the outside and designed in such a way as to exploit natural daylight for internal lighting purposes.
This allows diffused light to be delivered to the production areas, thus significantly improving the quality of the working environment and reducing the consumption of electricity.

Production processes

Photovoltaic

The first energy efficiency retrofit works involved the roofs of the premises in Vestone where today solar radiation is used to produce electricity in the production plants in a clean and renewable way by means of photovoltaic panels.

Transportation

The centralization of the production in the two poles of Vestone and Vobarno has allowed:

  • transport logistics to be optimized for clients thanks to the new finished goods warehouse.
  • The number of inter-company transports of materials to be reduced.
