From its inception, The Technogym Village has been guided by environmental principles.
Making the most of natural resources
- All the buildings in the Technogym Village are located to make best use of the natural elements.
- The factory faces north, which ensures natural light throughout the working day, and keeps staff cool in summer and warm in winter.
- An automated system opens windows under the roof and recycles air to keep interiors cool, even in the summer, without requiring air conditioning systems.
Re-using materials
We re-used the earth excavated during the construction of the factory to install natural barriers along the motorway side of the site. This created:
- a soft outline in front of the motorway, matching the contours of our local hillsides
- natural sound-proofing against the noise of motorway traffic
Energy-saving measures
We pay considerable attention to the choice of equipment we use to ensure maximum energy saving and minimal environmental impact.
An investment in energy-saving lamps and low-consumption PC workstations led to combined energy savings of approximately 154,000 kWh per year.
Clean energy
We are committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,400,000 kg/year.
For example, since 2008 the Technogym Spa has been using clean electricity generated purely from renewable resources.
Reducing and recycling waste
We recycle the following materials:
- the fabrics used to clean our products
- toner cartridges
- paper, cardboard and wood products
Our offices exclusively use recycled paper and we have reduced the paper used print product instruction manuals by replacing them with digital documents.
Choosing eco-friendly partners
We carefully vet any partners and suppliers collaborating with us to ensure their dedication to the environment. Where possible we also try to work with local companies.
