Pirelli and an enthusiasm for energy
Energy efficiency means consuming less without waste as well as better consumption, selecting the most suitable way to obtain the best result from the energy available.
At Pirelli production sites, people devoted to the management of energy consumption and specialised groups work to consolidate this approach, developing action plans aimed at optimising consumption and making employees aware of the subjects of energy and the environment.
The studies and actions being carried out concern the consumption of primary energy, but they do not neglect that of water and atmospheric emissions.
The carefully planned activities are aimed at:
- eliminating waste;
- increasing the energy yield of plants and processes;
- reducing overall expenditure to guarantee efficiency and savings.
An effective contribution is requested of all the participant working groups. Among the impressions gathered from those groups emerge objectives such as making people aware of the need for energy saving, useful for consolidating the initiatives being carried out and realising new ones, and the diffusion of data inherent to consumption and costs.
The expectations are substantial, from increasing personal awareness to the possibility of broadening the extent of work and obtaining starting points or ideas from a number of production sites.
Last but not least is an opportunity that must not be lost to replace old generation components with new ones, able to save energy by optimising consumption.
But the factories are not just starting to talk of these subjects now: as a result of contributions from experts in energy consumption and saving, Pirelli’s sustainable development has put down its roots for the task with the competence, culture and enthusiasm of its employees.
