GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Gruppo Mastrotto calculates direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from direct and indirect energy consumption.
The main GHG emissions7 derive from direct energy consumption; the direct emissions originate from the activity of energy production plants (cogeneration plants and process boilers). Indirect emissions, on the other hand, depend on the purchase of electricity.

In 2022, total carbon dioxide emissions, according to the market-based approach, amounted to just over 18,000 tons, down by 10% compared to 2020 and by 5% compared to 2021.
This result is attributable to the purchase of all electricity from renewable sources equipped with a certificate of origin and the full commissioning of the photovoltaic system of the Santa Croce sull'Arno plant. Also the intensity of emissions, that goes from 13.4 kg/CO2 per hour worked in 2020 to 9.9 kg/CO2 per hour worked in 2022, has clearly benefit from this set up.

ZERO-EMISSION ELECTRICITY
Starting from 1 January 2021 Gruppo Mastrotto has been purchasing 100% electricity from renewable sources.
Renewability formally guaranteed by Guarantee of Origin, i.e. an electronic certification that certifies the renewable origin of the sources used by the plants from which the company is supplied.
This initiative is linked to studies carried out to estimate the potential impact of tanning on climate change and is part of a path aimed at reducing the impact by intervening both on energy flows and sources and on the company's production processes.
Through this project Gruppo Mastrotto contributes to reducing CO2 emissions by more than 5,000 tons per year, equal to 21% of the total; at the same time, the reduction in emissions of Gruppo Mastrotto equals the action of 250,000 trees absorbing CO2
