VISION

Sustainability is a tool to change a company’s approach to business, making it possible to seize new opportunities.

The fundamental aspect is not only to share the importance of these matters, but above all to make people understand that the heart of sustainability lies in the actions we take on a daily basis.

The introduction of sustainability governance means that all employees and people who interact with the Group must act as spokespersons and above all as shareholders in sustainability activities, so that it is effective.

GOALS

The 2030 Agenda is the action programme signed in 2015 by the governments of the 193 member countries of the United Nations (UN) that supports organisations in implementing actions aimed at sustainable development. It defines 17 Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs divided into 169 sub-goals or targets to be achieved by 2030. LU-VE Group is committed to contributing to and following the guidelines of all 17 Goals of the Agenda.

The 4 social impacts of LU-VE Group’s activities

CLIMATE WELL-BEING

CLIMATE WELL-BEING

The demand for air conditioning is growing internationally due to population growth, urbanisation rates and the demand for a better quality of life, especially in the warmer areas of the world.

The commitment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ of LU-VE

Indoor climate comfort in buildings is an important element of people’s health and well-being and quality of life

FOOD SAFETY

FOOD SAFETY

Today, some three billion people lack safe and healthy food. The development of sustainable and technologically advanced cold chains is essential for the processing, storage, preservation, distribution and, ultimately, the increased availability of safe food for ever larger segments of the population.

The commitment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ of LU-VE

A proper cold chain ensures safe and properly stored food and reduces food waste

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

The international digitalisation process also touches on cloud computing. This strong impetus implies an increasing focus on the energy consumption of data centres, which currently account for 1% of the world total in terms of environmental sustainability.

The commitment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ of LU-VE

Operational and efficient data centres are a prerequisite for a country’s digital transformation

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

On average, air conditioning and cooling accounts for around 15% of electricity demand globally, with peaks of up to 50%. Mitigating the resulting environmental impacts involves improving energy efficiency standards by 50% by 2030.

The commitment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ of LU-VE

Maximising the energy efficiency of factories, buildings and system is crucial for protecting the planet, reducing environmental impact and improving businesses’ competitiveness
