Fruttagel chooses the Hera Group's multi-service offering with a view to the circular economy
Together for a circular economy partnership on waste, drinking water, purification, energy and energy efficiency services.
Circular economy and sustainability lie at the heart of Hera Business Solution
The Hera Business Solution protocol for the integrated management of waste, drinking water, purification, energy and energy efficiency services has been signed by Fruttagel and Hera. The multi service offering is dedicated to large companies wishing to achieve measurable and increasingly challenging sustainability objectives in different areas through the skills of a single partner. Circular economy and sustainability are at the heart of the Hera Business Solution protocol that has been signed by the Hera Group and Fruttagel, a leading Italian company in the food sector, specialising in the industrial processing of fresh fruit and vegetables, cereals and legumes. Thanks to Hera Business Solution, the multi service offering designed specifically for large companies, the Hera Group will put the skills of its companies at the service of Fruttagel to support it in achieving increasingly high and challenging circularity results throughout the entire production chain, expanding the range of services the multiutility is already providing and thus reaping the benefits deriving from having a single partner. While circular economy is often linked to waste management, it actually spans across various areas, including the efficient and sustainable use of water and energy. The Hera Business Solution protocol signed by Hera and Fruttagel stands as a prime example of cross sector collaboration designed to address both environmental and production issues, firmly establishing itself within the circular economy ecosystem. This collaboration with Fruttagel is an integral part of an ongoing process, drawing on a range of services provided by the Hera Group. These include waste management, with plans to reduce waste and global service solutions focused on maximising recovery, along with the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, the supply of drinking water, the provision of energy and web tools designed to analyse and optimise energy consumption to assess their impact. The collaboration also includes data connectivity, internet services and data centre solutions.
A long-term relationship built on sustainability
The signing of the Hera Business Solution protocol marks the official start of a consultancy partnership, through which the multiutility company will help establish a comprehensive monitoring model for all of Fruttagel's operations. This collaboration will support Fruttagel in reaching its environmental sustainability targets, focusing on improving efficiency in consumption, boosting environmental performance and reducing both energy and environmental impacts. These goals may become progressively more ambitious, especially with the planned expansion of the range of services offered by the Hera Group in a more structured way.
Through Hera Business Solution, the Hera Group establishes itself as a key partner for major industrial players, offering a comprehensive suite of integrated and turnkey energy and environmental solutions tailored to meet the unique needs and complexities of individual businesses. The objective is to collaborate with companies to create new growth opportunities while keeping costs as low as possible for the community, the environment and future generations. This is achieved through a focus on the regeneration of natural resources, the extension of the useful life cycle of assets and resources, and the development of expertise for the efficient use of materials. Measurement and reporting are increasingly crucial factors to be competitive in the market, also in terms of reputation.
To provide an overview of the sustainability results and initiatives undertaken, the Hera Group will leverage its established expertise in this area to collaborate with Fruttagel in developing a report that outlines the sustainability performance achieved. The report will include indicators for key services purchased or provided, such as the recovery of waste managed, avoided greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy used, primary energy saved through efficiency measures, and cogeneration plants. By examining these figures, it will be possible to gain deeper insights into processes and impacts, implement improvement actions and provide transparent reporting to stakeholders.
