Promoting energy efficiency

In support of its environmental and business strategies, CPL CONCORDIA has adopted appropriate management systems over the years and certified compliance with the relevant requirements of many business units, particularly those related to the Head Office, with the aim of reducing energy consumption and climate-changing emissions. The legal and administrative headquarters in Concordia (Mo) represents the Cooperative’s main source of direct emissions due to its size and presence of office staff, as well as the management of vehicles and operating equipment.

That is why since 2013 CPL has had an Energy Management System (SGE) certified in accordance with the International Standard ISO 50001, in order to reduce climate-changing emissions from the consumption of electricity, natural gas and diesel fuel for vehicles relative to the Headquarters in Concordia (Mo).

The ISO 50001 Energy Management System is maintained and operated in such a way as to continuously ensure the improvement of energy performance and environmental comfort of workers.

For this reason, CPL, in addition to persevering with the goals it has achieved, continues to invest in improving interventions. On the company intranet, workers can find the Management Manual and informational documents that provide a better understanding of what simple daily actions further reduce energy waste. In addition, any employee can report to CPL’s Energy Team-the designated energy management team-any suggestions for improvement or report inefficiencies.

Three-year intervention plan and future goals

In light of the consumption analysis and the corporate action plan for the three-year period 2023/2025, an action plan for the next three years has been budgeted with five main directions.

Virtuous Drivers

Saving fuel consumption of the CPL fleet has the dual benefit, environmental and economic. Therefore, the “Virtuous Drivers” tool was devised to motivate personnel to drive company vehicles, realizing better performance against predefined targets by vehicle category in challenge.

Photovoltaic

With the aim of making the company headquarters, which is already equipped with 3 photovoltaic systems distributed over 3 buildings for a total of 156 kW, more self-sufficient, it is assumed that 5 systems distributed over 5 buildings will be built, with a total capacity of 985.26 kW.

Office Closures

During the course of 2022, several company closures were made on which the savings achieved were calculated: 11 TEP and about 28 thousand euros in savings due to smart working, company closures, and collective closures. Based on the results obtained in 2022 and assuming a schedule of closures and Smart working, it was possible to estimate the savings the electricity and thermal energy/gas throughout 2023.

Heat pumps

In conjunction with the photovoltaic system, heat pump installation is considered for buildings G, H and B. The purpose of this energy efficiency solution is to limit the consumption of Natural Gas by taking advantage of the Electricity produced by the photovoltaic system (calculations show that 45% of the heat pump’s consumption will be covered by self-consumption renewable energy).

Relamping

Relamping refers to the replacement of the traditional light sources (incandescent, halogen and fluorescent) with the more efficient and sustainable LED lighting. In general, replacing traditional lamps with LED lamps can lead to significant energy, economic and environmental savings, improved lighting quality and safer environments.

Photovoltaic installations at CPL sites

Specifically, about 272 MWh of energy was produced from the photovoltaics installed on the roofs of the offices, 81% of which was used for self-consumption, resulting in a reduction in grid withdrawal.

Energy

We did

Implementation of the management system through the ECOS-CLOUD portal to all operational locations and company temporary warehouses to streamline the administrative management of forms and loading/unloading records
Reducing the production of mixed packaging
Staff awareness and training

What we are doing/will do

Increased training and awareness campaigns to extend employee awareness of proper waste management
Reduction of 2% of mixed waste (mixed packaging) at locations where there is evidence of low sorting rates
ISO 14001 management system at 100% of locations.
