photovoltaic panels
The Group is carrying out a wide program of photovoltaic panel installation to reduce emissions, energy dependence and operating costs. In 2023, photovoltaic panels were installed in Limidi and Carpi (1.5 MW total), avoiding in 2024 the emission of approximately 189 tCO2eq. With the systems also active in Fiesco, Rimini and Mühlacker, the total surface area covered by panels has exceeded 8,000 square meters.
covered for the Limidi site
certified green energy option
Starting from April 2024, all energy purchased from third parties for Voilàp's production plants in Europe comes from 100% renewable sources with certificates of origin, supporting certified climate projects EKOenergy in Italy. From the second half of 2024 the "green" option has been extended to the Group's main commercial hubs, bringing the share of renewable energy on total consumption to 86.6%.
domotics and bms
Voilàp is investing in a centralized Building Management System (BMS) for real-time monitoring of energy consumption, climate control, lighting, and machinery, optimizing efficiency and reducing waste by up to 30%. The system is already live at Limidi and Carpi plants and at the offices in Milan and Bologna, and it will be progressively extended to all production sites by 2027.
sustainable finance
Voilàp has successfully signed two financing contracts falling within the category of sustainable and responsible investments ('SRI'):
‣ Green Bond: in the first quarter of 2023, to finance the roof insulation project of the Limidi plants and facilities, in order to reduce heat transfer and preserve energy, with direct positive impacts on the environment;
‣ Sustainability Linked-Bond: in May 2024, financing the complete renewal of the internal climate optimization system and domotics to improve energy efficiency and increase the well-being and safety of our employees.
The credit line is aligned with the group's commitment against climate change, with a variable margin based on achieving our sustainability goals.

smart factory
Technology, efficiency, comfort and sustainability are the key pillars of the new smart factory of elumatec Italia in Carpi (MO), inaugurated in 2024. Equipped with BMS, heat pumps with radiant panels, photovoltaic system covering over 75% of annual needs, LED lighting and an optimized layout to ensure efficiency and safety, this plant embodies Voilàp's future factory concept, a replicable model in all Group sites.
Scope 3 Emissions
To obtain a complete and realistic view of its environmental impact along the entire value chain, Voilàp extended reporting to Scope 3 emissions in 2024. This analysis covers all indirect emissions generated by suppliers, transport, travel, waste, home-work commuting and distribution of finished products. In 2025 the Group will complete the mapping of residual categories and develop concrete initiatives to progressively reduce these indirect emissions.
