Sustainable Development Goals
Our approach

Practical sustainability, integrated into the way we work

At Contrel elettronica, sustainability starts with engineering. We design measuring, protection and monitoring devices that help companies and infrastructures understand their consumption, identify inefficiencies and use energy more consciously.

The same principle guides our own operations: we invest in renewable energy, efficiency, process quality, product durability and supply-chain control through a progressive and measurable approach.

Renewable energy

Contrel solar power: energy generated directly on site

Since 2010 we have invested in solar generation at our Lodi headquarters. Today, three photovoltaic systems cover a significant share of our electricity demand, with a fourth system planned by the end of the year.

Three systems operating, a fourth on the way

An investment journey started in 2010 and developed over time to reduce the energy impact of our operations and increase on-site renewable generation.

ESG

Environment, people and governance

For Contrel, sustainability is not a separate activity: it shapes the way we design, manufacture, manage resources and build long-term relationships with customers, employees and suppliers.

Environment and efficiency

We reduce environmental impact through on-site solar generation, attention to energy consumption, waste reduction and control of regulated substances. Our products also support energy monitoring and optimisation at customer facilities.

People, safety and responsibility

We promote a working environment focused on safety, technical competence and continuity of know-how, supported by processes designed for quality and long-term reliability.

Quality, transparency and governance

Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015. We apply checks, testing and verification throughout development and production to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions.

Independent assessments

Our ESG journey measured by external organisations

EcoVadis and Synesgy provide two independent views of our sustainability journey, helping us identify strengths and areas for improvement.
