Renewable energy sources
The Interpump Group is working to increase the use of electric energy from renewable sources.
- Self-generation of energy from renewable sources
In 2023, more than 4.0 MWp of new photovoltaic systems were installed, including, for example, the initiatives of Inoxpa S.A.U., Interpump Group Spa, Interpump Hydraulics Spa, Teknotubi Srl and Walvoil Spa.
These investments, in addition to ensuring a partial internalization and stabilization of energy costs, will contribute to achieving the emission targets set by the Group's decarbonization strategy. - Energy supply from renewable sources
In 2023, certain Group companies purchased approximately 26.57 GWh of electric from certified renewable sources (equal to around 20% of the Group’s electricity requirement), contributing to the reduction of Scope 2 emissions.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is a priority for the Group in terms of reducing its CO₂ emissions and boosting its industrial competitiveness.
In 2023, energy intensity at a Group level was equal to 0.37 GJ/k€, down by 0.02 GJ/k€ with respect to the previous year following lower energy consumption compared to the growth in sales recorded in the reporting period.
1 Calculated as follows: total energy consumed [GJ] / turnover [k€], where total energy consumed means total energy consumption as per GRI Disclosure 302-1.
Energy consumption | UoM | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
Energy consumption | GJ | 619,054 | 811,499 | 831,735 |
Consolidated revenues | k€ | 1,551,460 | 2,074,041 | 2,240,039 |
Energy intensity | GJ/k€ | 0.40 | 0.39 | 0.37 |
Atmospheric emissions
The Group’s atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases (hereinafter, also GHG) were calculated in terms of emission types:
Direct GHG emissions | UoM | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
Fuels | ton CO2eq | 13,491 | 16,399 | 16,362 |
Refilling refrigerant gases | ton CO2eq | 925 | 1,008 | 655 |
Total Scope 1 emissions | ton CO2eq | 14.416 | 17.407 | 17,017 |
- Scope 1 – Direct emissions: these correspond to GHG emissions deriving from the use of fuel and leakages of refrigerant gas from the air conditioning/refrigeration systems.
Total Scope 1 emissions of Interpump Group are 17,017 tons of CO2eq, with a slight decrease of 2.2% compared to the previous year.
Direct GHG emissions | U.M. | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
Indirect from electricity | ton CO2eq | 47,740 | 72,857 | 57,547 |
Indirect from thermal energy | ton CO2eq | 25 | 22 | 23 |
Total Scope 2 emissions | ton CO2eq | 47,765 | 72,879 | 57,570 |
- Scope 2 – Indirect energy emissions: these mainly relate to purchased electricity and only marginally to purchased thermal energy
The reduction in CO2 emissions is linked to the increase in the purchase of electric energy from certified renewable sources by the White Group.
