Fabio Perini obtains the prestigious ISO 50001 certification

Fabio Perini has obtained ISO 50001 certification for environmental sustainability. This milestone comes after a journey started in 2012 positioning Fabio Perini among the most cutting-edge companies in the converting sector and beyond.

The company makes a formal statement of its focus on energy issue in the Energy Management System (EMS) document, where it officially commits itself to deploy human, financial and technologic resources to undertake a process of continuous improvement of its energy performances.

"In practice, what have we done? To start with,"  said Riccardo Signorini, maintenance and capex manager, "we deployed steps that can be defined "good housekeeping" such as switching off the overhead cranes at night and using our domotics to reduce waste of electric power and heating. Additionally, through the LSS methodology, we identified the best strategy for a more efficient energy management system, bringing Fabio Perini, as early as 2016, to be awarded the "Italia in Classe A"(Italy in A Class) prize by national Energy Agency ENEA."

Subsequently, Fabio Perini introduced LED lights in the workshops, solar heating to obtain warm water in summer, solar films for the windows facing south and west and finally, one of the air compressors was replaced by a new generation model with inverter.

The results obtained are surprising: Since 2015 the company has achieved power savings of 12 percent and 1,530 t CO2, equivalent to saving 729 hectares of forest.
