Pursuing their 2024 goal to transform production into a cyclical process where the energy by machinery and buildings comes from natural resources and/or agricultural waste, the company has implemented the following measures in terms of energy:
Use of photovoltaic panels at both our Estates in Naoussa and Amyndeon, covering almost 30% of total energy consumption.
Close monitoring of machinery /equipment energy performance and gradual planning of replacing /updating to resource saving technologies (e.g wider use of variable frequency drives in conjunction with energy efficient electrical motors)
Heat pumps installed replacing the use of heating oil and reducing CO2 emissions.
LED lighting system already installed.
