Even though we operate in a water-rich area like Agro Pontino, we believe business growth must go hand in hand with responsible, sustainable water use\u2014so we can protect it for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, our commitment has turned into concrete actions. We optimized defrost-water recovery systems, installed water softening units for evaporative towers, and streamlined cooling processes\u2014reducing our direct withdrawal from water sources. In 2024, this led to an 11.4% reduction in water consumption vs. the previous year, saving about 50,000 m\u00b3 of water in a single year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gelit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Storie_2024_ambiente_depuratore-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gelit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Storie_2024_ambiente_depuratore-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gelit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Storie_2024_ambiente_depuratore-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gelit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Storie_2024_ambiente_depuratore-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gelit.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Storie_2024_ambiente_depuratore.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key step was activating a biological wastewater treatment plant in 2020. It has allowed us to treat industrial wastewater and meet the highest environmental standards over these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we\u2019re not stopping here. We know sustainability can\u2019t be achieved alone, so we also involved our suppliers\u2014because the impact of their choices matters just as much.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, together with Nativa, we hosted 3 webinars to raise awareness across our supply chain about responsible water management. We were glad to see that over 81% of our key suppliers actively monitor their water use, and 26% have already launched concrete actions to reduce it. In December, this topic was also one of the main points of discussion during our first Impact Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strong participation and openness from our suppliers encourages us to keep going. We know we\u2019re still at the beginning, but step by step\u2014and together with our partners\u2014we\u2019ll keep reaching new levels of efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ridurre, recuperare, coinvolgere: la strategia vincente per una gestione ottimale delle risorse idriche La gestione dell\u2019acqua \u00e8 un tema centrale per ogni azienda, in particolare per quelle che, come noi, appartengono al settore food.
