Energy efficiency
Benetton’s contribution against climate change takes form through the implementation of initiatives to reduce energy consumption and, as a result, climate-altering gas emissions, associated with the headquarters and direct stores. These projects produced significant benefits in terms of energy savings and lower CO2 emissions.
Benetton Group closely monitors its energy consumption to reduce waste and seek the optimal configuration in the use of systems.
Periodic energy diagnosis carried out make it possible to identify the most critical issues in terms of consumption and to subsequently define and structure an efficiency plan.
Since 2017, the energy feeding the entire Benetton Campus is generated by certified renewable sources (water and ocean).
Thanks to the actions undertaken, also in 2024 Benetton Group optimised and reduced energy consumption in the headquarters.
Finally, the company car fleet is composed of approximately 60% electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Regarding stores, in the course of 2024, Benetton Group continued replacing lighting systems with high-efficiency, long-lasting LED products and began replacing certain air conditioning systems with modern heat pump technologies.
The total value of renewable energy used accounted for 44% of the total energy used in 2024 by the Group. All the renewable energy used is purchased from sources backed by Guarantee of Origin (GO) certificates as proof of validity.
A Guarantee of Origin (GO) is an electronic certificate that verifies the renewable nature of the energy resource. It provides detailed information about the source of the energy, including type of renewable source, date and location of production.
