ItaliaspeedTV - Ferrari and the Environment: The Global Approach

In keeping with Ferraris 360-degree approach to efficiency and its commitment to environmental sustainability, new technologies for its road cars are matched by the considerable investments already made to reduce the environmental impact of the companys production activities in Maranello. After the inauguration of the photovoltaic installation on the roof of the Mechanical Machining facility in January 2009, which reduced the factorys power requirements by over 210,000 kWh annually, 2009 also saw the opening of Italys biggest trigeneration plant (the simultaneous production of power, heat and cooling from a single source) the first of its kind to be implemented by a sports car manufacturer. Combined, the two systems reduce CO2 emissions by 30,000 tons a year (40 per cent). Thanks to these ecological solutions, Ferrari is completely autonomous for its energy requirements. This reduction also means that Ferrari will meet the Kyoto protocol objectives a full 10 years ahead of schedule and with double the figure imposed on Europe. This represents another significant step forward in the Formula Uomo strategy implemented by Ferraris Chairman, Luca di Montezemolo, at the end of the 1990s and which has transformed the Maranello production facility into one of the most advanced in the world. It has also helped create a unique working environment which, in addition to other initiatives for the well-being of employees, ensures that Ferrari has become a model, as demonstrated by the fact that the factory has, in the past, received the Best Place to Work in Europe award.
