Clear and positive values
The success enjoyed by SIM2 is also a reection of its ethical vision based on values that know no boundaries: transparency,
responsibility and sustainability. SIM2 technology, quality and design all come together in a positive, healthy and
environmentally-conscious workplace. From 1999 to 2008, our Pordenone facility has cut its electricity consumption by 25%
and water consumption by 80%: what’s more, the plan is to have a photovoltaic system to meet all the company’s energy
needs. In the meantime, all external lighting is provided by new LED lights, which have been developed and installed by a
SIM2 subsidiary (Solight SpA). SIM2’s commitment to sustainability starts as early as the research and development stage,
with an assessment of the products’ environmental impact during the course of their total life cycle (LCA). Our company
favors the use of green, recyclable materials and puts all raw materials through certied laboratory testing to rule out
harmful substances and reduce the use of potentially pollutant substances, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium,
PBB and PBDE. Our company has adopted a “printless” program to reduce paper consumption and organizes regular
courses for our personnel on issues related to the environment and sustainability, in collaboration with the University of
Padua, one of the most prestigious universities in Europe.
