Emission Reduction and Energy Transition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

KBV is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, implementing concrete measures that reflect our rigorous and proactive approach. In the last 3 years we have reduced GHG emissions by 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further advance these objectives, we have intensified our adoption of renewable energies. Currently, 28% of our electricity consumption comes from solar panels installed at our facilities, and 63% of our total electricity consumption is associated with zero CO\u2082 emissions. This progress reaffirms our commitment to the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
