CORTICEIRA CARDOSO is committed every day to the decarbonisation of the industry, promoting a significant reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil fuels.
Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy, guiding investment decisions and the continuous modernisation of the industrial unit.
The company has a photovoltaic solar energy system with battery storage, ensuring the production of electricity for self-consumption.
The installed capacity meets the energy needs of the electrification of industrial process equipment, allowing for the optimisation of electricity consumption through sustainable own production.
The biomass heating system ensures the production of heat from renewable sources, significantly reducing the use of natural gas.
This solution guarantees energy supply even during periods of lower solar irradiation, reinforcing the energy autonomy of the industrial unit.
The full replacement of lighting with LED technology further contributes to reducing overall energy consumption. Electrification does increase electricity demand, but this is partially offset by own renewable energy production.
The implemented strategy makes it possible to:
Sustainability guides the present and future of CORTICEIRA CARDOSO. Continuous investment in innovation, efficiency and environmental responsibility ensures sustainable growth, aligned with contemporary environmental and industrial demands.
