On January 31, 2025, ACTUAL TEXTILES proudly celebrated Clean Energy Day, highlighting the company’s ongoing efforts towards energy transition and sustainable development. This event marked a full year of commitment to the exclusive use of green energy, a significant step in reducing our carbon footprint and reinforcing our environmental responsibility.
A Factory Powered 100% by Green Energy
For the past year, ACTUAL TEXTILES has taken a decisive step by adopting a 100% green energy supply to meet the electricity needs of its factory, covering both production units and administrative offices. This energy transition has allowed the company to achieve several key objectives:
- Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: By using renewable energy sources, ACTUAL TEXTILES has significantly reduced its carbon footprint, contributing to the fight against climate change.
- Energy autonomy: By decreasing its reliance on fossil fuels, the company has strengthened its energy independence and resilience against fluctuations in the global energy markets. This energy independence also allows better long-term control over operational costs.
- Promotion of eco-responsibility: Beyond just the energy transition, the company actively engages its employees in this effort by raising awareness about adopting environmentally friendly practices. This includes optimizing energy use and reducing non-essential consumption.
A Continuous Education and Awareness Program
As part of this energy transition, an internal awareness and training program was launched to educate and empower employees on good energy consumption practices. This program includes:
- Interactive workshops on the challenges of green energy and best ecological practices.
- Ongoing training to help employees better understand the impact of their daily actions both at work and at home, aiming to reduce their individual ecological footprint.
Additionally, ACTUAL TEXTILES conducts regular monitoring and evaluations to adjust and continuously improve the strategies in place, ensuring the long-term success of these initiatives. These adjustments aim to maximize the effectiveness of the actions taken and further enhance the company’s sustainability over time.
