Our Social & Environmental Commitments
After many years of research, analysis, consistent upgrades and updates finally Carvico and Jersey Lomellina production plant can be considered as the benchmark for successful, green entrepreneurship. In our production we only use electricity deriving from renewable sources. Furthermore, by replacing all mercury bulbs with last generation lamps, introducing new inverters, led lamps, high efficiency engines and upgrading all the knitting equipment and machinery, we have further decreased our energy consumption. In 2013, thanks to the installation of a high-tech co-generation plant and the use of methane gas, currently the “greenest” fossil fuel, Carvico and Jersey Lomellina won the challenge of independently producing electricity, thus cutting down on energy consumption. In compliance with the most recent European standards and with National and regional laws and regulations, we have adopted a high tech, waste water homogenization aimed at reducing the amount of polluting agents before it is sent to the municipal water treatment plant. Moreover, a sophisticated system to sort rainwater from civil and industrial waters has also been implemented so as to harvest and re-use rainwater in the production process. Carvico enforces an efficient program for the reduction of emissions. Thanks to the use of last generation plants (BAT, best available technology), we can ensure our emissions temperatures and values are far below the limits set by the law. Since our early days, we have always paid a lot of attention to the maintenance of the green belt surrounding our premises and we have also planted a relevant quantity of new trees. In addition to enhancing the appearance of our premises, the presence of such green belt, contributes to the absorption of the CO2 released into the atmosphere, improving our environmental balance.
