Italy-based CDMO Olon has published the annual Corporate Sustainability Report for 2022, which details the global company commitment to people, planet, and communities in which it operates.
The report outlines the substantial progresses achieved in the focus areas - to reduce the footprint on the environment, to create a sustainable global supply chain, to include people diversity, to engage communities and stakeholder, to promote the most advanced and sustainable manufacturing processes.
“After the 2021 publication of our first Sustainability Manifesto, this is a clear statement and policy document representing that we are pursuing our vision of sustainable growth. It is an assumption of responsibility towards customers, partners, and employees. Our vision is to be a global leader in API production from a business, social and ethical perspective. We will continue to introduce new initiatives to deliver our future ambitions” Paolo Tubertini commented
To reduce energy consumption, Olon has launched a long-term program to progressively install renewable energy systems in the facilities of global manufacturing network.
Over 2022, the Group has been carrying on investments in four out of the 11 Olon sites to install advanced solar panel systems to generate renewable energy. In Rodano, one of the most strategic sites further than HQ base, they have just successfully implemented the installation and the system is running and they have already allocated a significant investment for the next step ahead – a new massive solar system. Thanks to this investment, 15% of the electric energy used in Rodano facility will be covered by renewable sources by 2023.
Olon’s environmental targets
- -60% of specific energy consumption per ton of production, over the 2018-2025
- -60% of CO2 emissions over the 2018-2025
- -60% of water consumption to promote fair and sustainable use over the 2018-2025
