What it means to be an Impact Maker

“We have chosen to reward companies that demonstrate how, with the technologies available today, a significant impact can be achieved.

The project that won the Sustainability Impact Awards, in particular, allowed Lati to reduce operational emissions from industrial production . With the use of Schneider Electric’s Power Monitoring Expert platform , to digitize production phases and processes, the company was able to analyze energy waste and act accordingly.

In 2022, it managed to reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 19% and Scope 2 by 23% compared to the previous year. Lati therefore received the award for its constant focus on sustainability in its development strategies. Embracing digital integration to minimize energy consumption and optimize processes.

The nerve center of its activity is the data center at the Padua headquarters which serves the entire national territory. Here, InfoCamere began an important path of sustainable innovation in 2015 to increase the processing power and resilience of the infrastructure. And drastically reduce energy consumption.

Supported by the EcoStruxure Data Center Expert and Data Center Operation DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) monitoring and management platforms , the company reduced consumption by more than 1 million kWh/year. A figure equal to over 15% of total consumption.

Tecno Service: objective to decarbonise healthcare buildings

Tecno Service deals with the design, installation, management and maintenance of systems and buildings, also operating as an ESCo.
