Business Sustainability Strategies

When corporate sustainability strategies enter through the windows

For companies and businesses, sustainability is the paradigm upon which they build their future. The commitment required by society demands a mindset of awareness towards growth, one that cannot come at the expense of the social fabric they are part of or damage the environment.

How is all this responsibility managed? The challenges faced by companies today mainly concern their ability to generate value in a manner that is economically, ethically, and ecologically respectful and sustainable.                                               
Starting from the supply chain with which products are made or services are provided, to the relationship with employees, from the choice of raw materials to energy procurement, all the way to space management and strategies to reduce emissions, companies have the opportunity to revolutionize their business model with a green focus.

We are talking about opportunities, not always obligations and necessities imposed by regulations and standards: businesses can change the way they operate without sacrificing growth, in fact imagining it as more lasting and prosperous than ever.

In this article, we want to delve into issues concerning environmental sustainability, redefining the concept as an opportunity to make valuable choices and highlight them with a conscious narrative in front of their stakeholders.          
The solutions that help companies achieve concrete results may surprise with their simplicity but they encapsulate innovation and transformation.

Corporate Social Responsibility and the environment

Effectively combining economic goals with social and environmental objectives is the way to translate into concrete actions what is envisioned by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Companies can look to the world of non-profit organizations to invest virtuously in their projects or decide to collaborate actively by providing resources, skills, and personnel.                                                     The activities that companies can implement within their management system are equally important and concern not only the relationship with people and the territory in a human sense, but also in an environmental sense.                                       

With respect to the planet, which also refers to the specific geographic area where the companies are located, the good practices to adopt mainly concern the reduction of their ecological footprint: essentially, carbon emissions.

Energy efficiency and thermal comfort: what are business sustainability strategies?

To achieve individual and collective sustainability goals, the strategy for reducing energy consumption, in addition to cutting operational costs, involves reducing CO2 emissions.                                                      Similarly, improving thermal comfort allows companies to achieve, in addition to the well-being of employees, increased operational efficiency and overall improvement in business operations.

Therefore, energy efficiency and thermal comfort become two key pillars around which to develop concrete actions, taking into account the benefits of passive and low-impact solutions.

Energy efficiency

Reducing consumption without compromising quality means efficienting: and indeed, energy efficiency consists precisely of this—adopting measures and technologies capable of containing energy expenditure while maintaining performance that is equal to or, if possible, better.

However, the replacement of systems, especially in the case of air conditioning and heating, is not always the right path to reduce energy demand. Certainly, more modern and innovative technologies benefit from higher energy classes, but the key point, when it comes to managing the indoor microclimate, is that starting temperatures are increasingly extreme.

A large-scale idea is to act on climate change, but it certainly requires a collective, organized, and long-term effort. The immediate and individual response to influence the working temperature of the systems lies in high-level solar shading solutions.

Thermal comfort

An environment with a comfortable microclimate is necessary for the well-being of employees and directly linked to their productivity.

Improving insulation and screening the impact of solar radiation, managing and taking advantage of as much as possible of natural light, are just two examples that show how low-impact strategies can improve the balance of workspaces.

Reducing emissions and minimizing impact

Every company today, in order to be aligned with its competitors, must be able to address the issue of emissions with interest, responsibility, and commitment. This is only possible through sustainable business strategies that prove to be truly effective.

To do this, it is necessary to act with an integrated approach: having a partner who can guide the selection of the most suitable materials, systems, and technologies, along with a more careful and thoughtful energy management.

An energy retrofitting process that effectively achieves efficiency goals with a sustainability perspective is only possible when a company’s vision embraces truly innovative solutions in which results are real and measurable.

Lowering direct emissions with reduced energy expenditure, and in an indirect or passive way to improve sustainability, helps meet regulatory standards and strengthens the company’s image and reputation with customers, partners, and stakeholders as a whole.

Anti-Solar Films, A winning green choice

To intervene quickly and efficiently while still achieving immediate and certain results, solar shading is an excellent strategy.

Among the advantages of anti-solar films, versatility and ease of installation are among the most evident. These types of solutions indeed require the expertise of qualified installers but do not need invasive structural interventions. This means that a company can measure results in terms of energy efficiency without having to change the air conditioning systems.

Similarly, it is possible to install insulating films to retain heat indoors during the winter months without resorting to the replacement of windows. This way, it will be easier to reduce emissions and energy consumption for heating spaces without intervening on the already installed systems.
