Since its inception, EDiM is committed to reducing the environmental impact and energy consumption of its production process. We aspire to be a Green Foundry and, over the years, we have increased our efforts to produce more sustainably. We have made a name for ourselves as one of the first companies in Europe to purchase electricity exclusively from renewable sources. In 2019 we also became Carbon Neutral, offsetting our carbon dioxide emissions.

In fact, as we all know, the automotive market is currently undergoing radical change: electric mobility is expanding rapidly and this trend is set to accelerate over the next few years. Generally speaking, manufacturers and consumers are focusing more and more on sustainability aspects and on reducing CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere: in this respect, it is no longer enough to consider emissions due to fuel consumption only, but it is also necessary to take into consideration emissions over the entire lifecycle of a car, from manufacture to use, right up to its disposal. Therefore, a holistic approach to sustainability is increasingly preferred and rewarded by the market.

This is why Carbon Footprint specifications and constraints – an index that is generally measured in kilograms of CO₂-equivalent emissions per kilo of finished product sold, which summarises the overall impact that a specific production process has on the environment – play an increasingly important role, even in automotive manufacturers’ requests for proposals. This index also allows the production processes implemented by various manufacturers of components for the automotive industry to be compared with each other in order to assess their environmental impact.

This is a huge achievement for us, which rewards our long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability.
