Our company fleet is made up of hybrid vehicles—a concrete step towards sustainability. This choice helps us reduce CO2 emissions, in compliance with environmental regulations and the social responsibility values we uphold as a company.
One of our priorities is the focus on waste disposal and the recyclability of waste. We are very close to our objective of more than 90% recyclability of our production waste.
There has been a growing attention and a great interest on the geothermal resource as a source of renewable energy during the last few decades. The decision to focus on a renewable resource such as geothermal energy was undertaken with a special eye to environmental sustainability, contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and fine dust deriving from air conditioning. According to the commitment made by most of the countries during the international Kyoto treaty in this branch, the use of low-depth geothermal energy was chosen in order to obtain sustainable resources both from an energy and environmental point of view.
Plants using water to perform heat exchange in a direct way, taking water from the aquifer and re-introducing it into the same aquifer, are called open loop systems or forced convection systems. The potential for heating and/or cooling of groundwater is very high but is linked to the hydro geological characteristics of the area. Luckily, from this point of view the subsoil of the provincial territory is rich in water bodies that guarantee high productivity, especially those of fluvial and glacial nature.
A real protection of the environment passes through the correct planning of the plant, so that the groundwater collected from the subsoil and passed through the heat exchangers is returned to the ground without alterations. For the re-introduction of the water in the same aquifer it is necessary to respect different conditions, such as:
The LED technology (Light-Emitting Diodes) represents the evolution of lighting, in which the light’s generation is obtained by using semiconductors instead of using a filament or a gas. LED lighting has several advantages over other lighting technologies available on the market:

The APG Cosmetic Division has implemented an Environmental Management System conforming with the international standard UNI EN ISO 14001 which is committed to promoting any direct action to protect the respect for the environment. For this purpose, specific environmental programs are defined and activated for the optimal use of resources such as:
