Bitron Electronics Sustainability - Enel
Bitron Electronics Context
We Assembly electronic components!
No Energy intensive processes
Lot of materials purchased
Scope 1 + 2 + 3 typical rate
(taken from enel meter LCA, cradle to gate)
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
Nexy-M LCA
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!
R&D - EcoDesign!
Real Time LCA
Energy consumption during use of the product may impact also more than manufacturing emissions
Nexy-M LCA
if our customer want an LCA reduction, we can also point on Emissions during use phase
R&D - EcoDesign!
Real Time LCA
Target setting
Company Sustainability report since 2017, according to GRI
Ongoing: Company Carbon Footprint (Scope 1+2+3) Electronic Division Plant
Grugliasco will be soon finished
Draft Results
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
2023 Digital Product Passport
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
ESG Finance
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, ...)
Today price
3-10 $/tCO2
Future projections @2030
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
Process Update and Digitalization: embedding sustainability practices in Company's processes
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
EcoDesign
Real time feedback on CO2 Emission
Target for CO2 reduction of Profucts
Materials Regulation:
- Component Homologation
- Product Declaration
- Continuous update
