Bitron Electronics Sustainability - Enel

We Assembly electronic components!

No Energy intensive processes

Lot of materials purchased

Starting From 2022, the Scope 2 emissions of Eectronic Division will be set to zero thanks to the purchase of Electric energy from Renewables(RECs) and self production from PV plants

more than 95% of our emission are on Scope 3

Transport is a minimal part

plastic is a minimal part (already recycled)

paper board already recycled

Electricity already from Renewables

Natural gas is a minimal part (only for environmental heating)

Mechanical is due mainly to Display

Consistent Reduction are possible only during Design Phase!

Energy consumption during use of the product may impact also more than manufacturing emissions

if our customer want an LCA reduction, we can also point on Emissions during use phase

Company Sustainability report since 2017, according to GRI

Ongoing: Company Carbon Footprint (Scope 1+2+3) Electronic Division Plant

Grugliasco will be soon finished

Next steps: other plants

Ongoing step: Define our targets and middle term strategy

Partnership with PoliTo University

Regulation and volountary context and frame

EU Regulation and International context

very similar to a Full Material Declaration

2022/2023 Sustainable Product + Circular Electronics Initiative, that will push on:

Ecodesign

increase product lifetime + right-to-repair and spare parts

rewards for products based on sustainability performances

Need to reduce/avoid Greenwashing Risk

2022/2023 EU Taxonomy

Definition of activities that can be labelled as ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLE

2023 EU Corporate SUstainablity Reporting Directive (CSRD)

all large Companies (as Bitron) HAVE to do the Sustainability Report, following EU rules

New Rules will be revolutionary and the companies that will be able to anticipate / reach compliance soon will have a great advantage on competitors

Volountary practices (Carbon offsetting, LCA, ...)

3-10 $/tCO2

Scenario 1 (No NDC)

20-50 $/tCO2

Scanario 2 (full NDC)

30-100 $/tCO2

Customers / Competitors / Suppliers Benchmark

Guidelines

Standard frameworks to follow (inside the jungle of "volountary"

CO2 Measures (supply chain/Scope 3)

Ofsetting Strategy

Social Sustainability

Ongoing step: Supplier Sustainability Survey and Vendor Rating

we want to understand our Supplier Sustainability level and involvment

LCA Real Time

we want to create a system that will allow R&D to really do EcoDesign

Real time feedback for the Designer of the CO2 emission linked to the product he/she is creating

Step 1: Clusterization

create cluster of "similar" components

Step 2: Modelization

create models for each cluster on an LCA software for the CO2 emission calculation

Step 3: System integration

Materials Regulation:
- Component Homologation
- Product Declaration
- Continuous update

REACH / ROHS

Full Material Declaration / IMDS
