Sustainability is our top choice.
What does being sustainable mean for us?
What does being sustainable mean for us?
We are early adopters of innovative technologies to contain the direct and indirect environmental impact generated by air conditioning, heating and cooling processes, with the aim of building a sustainable future for the next generations.
Economic, energy, environmental and cultural sustainability
We work every day to optimise our customers' financial commitment with a view to a truly sustainable future, for humans and for the environment.

Financial sustainability
We propose intelligent energy use solutions aimed at reducing OpEx costs in favour of CapEx.
Before using a specific air conditioning system, we calculate the direct and indirect costs associated with the chosen product and technology, to determine the resulting financial benefit for our customer over time.
This is a key step that allows us to analyse the costs to be actually incurred by that customer after the initial purchase cost.
Energy and environmental sustainability
We develop new products based on highly efficient technological solutions, using low environmental impact refrigerants and smart control and monitoring systems.
And we don't stop at that: we integrate our systems into the infrastructure as a whole for heat recovery and reuse of the energy produced - to the benefit of the customer and the ecosystem.
In the Data Center segment, we are committed to reducing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): a parameter that measures the energy efficiency of a data center, inversely proportional to efficiency (the lower the PUE, the higher the efficiency).
Throughout the HiRef supply chain, we observe the highest levels of safety, healthiness and environmental protection. We monitor the supply chain with increasing attention to sustainability.
Cultural sustainability
Sharing of knowledge means healthy contamination aimed at adding to the human and cultural heritage.
In 2003, we chose to start a standing partnership with a number of universities, viewed as our strategic partners for the exchange of skills and for collaboration on some R&D projects.
