It is a formal document where <strong>it certifies its commitment in terms of ESG<\/strong>, namely from an environmental, social, and governance perspective. This is not a new experience for the Pisa site, which has been included in the sustainability report of the Tuscan chemical sector for nine years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe acquired the Saline di Volterra plant in 2011, while we took over the Pieve Vergonte site from a crisis committee at the Ministry of Economic Development in 2019,\u201d says Roberto Vagheggi, General Manager of Esseco Industrial and CEO of the Chlor-Alkali division, which has a total of 186 employees and an overall turnover of about 420 million euros. \u201cOver these years, we have embarked on a path of renewal and production enhancement and environmental attention that continues today with substantial investments. In our first corporate sustainability report, we illustrate the many research and development projects carried out over the years and our commitment to safety and sustainability throughout the entire supply chain, with quality certifications of our processes. As energy-intensive enterprises,\u201d Vagheggi continues, \u201cwe have always worked towards <strong>responsible use of energy sources.<\/strong> In addition to installing photovoltaic panels on the production sites, we have signed a <em>Power Purchase Agreement<\/em> capable of providing 43,800 MWh per year and we have founded <em>Renewability<\/em>, a consortium company that brings together several industrial realities with an investment of 11 million euros.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For this purpose, the <strong>two hydroelectric plants in Pieve Vergonte<\/strong>, capable of providing a total of 18 MW of power, thus bringing the zero-emission energy to 75 percent in the Piedmont site, have had a significant impact. The energy mix of <em>Altair Chemical<\/em> is also completed by <strong>two high-efficiency cogenerators<\/strong> \u2013 whose fumes are partially reused in the processes \u2013 and the steam produced with hydrogen (resulting from electrolysis), whose residue not used in the production of hydrochloric acid is then valued in a bi-fuel generator. \u201cWe limit emissions into the atmosphere and return the water to the environment after its use,\u201d explains Vagheggi. \u201cThe circular approach is also evident in several productions including ferric chloride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sustainability Report also indicates short and long-term goals for the Esseco Industrial division. From increasing self-produced energy to improve <strong>CO<sub>2<\/sub>-free energy efficiency,<\/strong> <strong>to feasibility studies for reducing water consumption, to the use of electric trucks and the enhancement of rail transport<\/strong> to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. From supporting cultural and charitable initiatives in the territories, such as the stadium in Saline and the community dining hall in Pieve Vergonte. From the firm decision to continue the safety policy to achieve \u201czero injuries,\u201d to the application of innovative software for energy and production monitoring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201c<strong>The well-being and safety of our collaborators<\/strong>, as well as the attention to the local communities that host our facilities, on which we want to continue to invest in innovation and efficiency, \u2013 concludes Roberto Vagheggi \u2013 represent for us essential prerogatives for the future corporate development, as well as continuing to reduce environmental impact, protecting water resources, and increasing the supply of zero-emission energy to meet market demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To browse <em>the Sustainability Report<\/em>click on the provided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appdual.it\/FTP\/Ftp\/ALTAIR_RapportoSostenibilita_EN_2022\/ALTAIR_RapportoSostenibilita_EN_2022_HR_pag%20singole.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link.<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In anticipation of the corporate merger that took place at the beginning of January, Altair Chemical drafted its first Sustainability Report for the year 2022, concerning its two plants in Saline di Volterra (Pisa) and Pieve Vergonte (Verbano-Cusio-Ossola).
