Zucchetti Centro Sistemi S.p.A. is constantly committed to minimising the impact of its activities on the surrounding environment, focusing mainly on reducing energy consumption and atmospheric emissions.

An ongoing commitment to reduce energy consumption and atmospheric emissions.
As a demonstration of this commitment, the company established the Green Innovation Business Unit, which is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for energy independence and saving, facilitating the energy transition process.
In 2021, the ZCS Building of Innovation, the headquarters of the Robotics and Green Innovation Divisions, was awarded ISO14001 environmental certification, the European environmental reference standard. This is in line with the company’s growth plan, which focuses on environmental protection, pollution prevention, and the reduction of energy and resource consumption.

Reduction of
CO2 emissions
Future efforts to reduce direct emissions will concentrate on employee transportation, favouring electric or hybrid vehicles and other more sustainable means of transport wherever possible.
Electricity emissions decreasing
Scope 2 emissions deriving from electricity are decreasing, which is mainly due to the installation of two new photovoltaic systems in 2023. In particular, the systems were installed on the roofs of our buildings.
Waste reduction
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi S.p.A. is also equipped with a waste compactor inside the logistics hub. This tool makes it possible to significantly reduce the volume of waste, leading to savings in terms of space, disposal costs and a lower environmental impact. In addition, water dispensers have been installed in some buildings.

Product LCA
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) allows a product or service to be assessed over its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. Obtaining this certification allows ZCS to "build" a virtuous supply chain characterised by sustainability, quality, and excellence in both products and services. The LCA reveals that climate impact, measured in terms of CO2-equivalent emissions, is minimal. This is particularly notable when compared to the emissions these products help avoid by actively contributing to the transition to renewable energy.

Improvement plan
To reduce its environmental impact, Zucchetti Centro Sistemi is committed to working closely with its suppliers. In this sense, the main areas the company plans to focus on in the coming years are:
- mprovement of LCA calculation models and inclusion of other products in the assessment;
- Increase in recycled metals used in its products;
- Management of products at the end of their life cycle, supported by the newly established repair centre, which will be further expanded in 2024;
- Attainment of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification by EPD Italy for the range of ZCS Azzurro products;
- Implementation of an LCA tool certified by EPD Italy to automatically calculate the environmental impact of products and obtain an EPD within a few days, even for new products.
