Sustainability

Sustainability as a cornerstone

Nice and elero stand for sustainable change

The issue of sustainability is being firmly established as a cornerstone of the business strategy of Nice, the Italian multinational company for home automation, home security and smart home. A paradigm shift in corporate development needs to be implemented at a global level.

The Baden-Württemberg-based company elero, a 100% subsidiary of Nice and a specialist within the group in the roller shutter and sun protection sectors, are also part of the sustainability initiative.

To achieve its ambitious goals, Nice relies on the expertise of eAmbiente, an external consultancy specialising in sustainable management solutions from an environmental, social and financial perspective.

CO2 footprint put to the test

Definition of a sustainable corporate strategy

In a first step in 2021, the CO2 footprint of the organisation was measured, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the production activity, expressed in CO2-equivalents. Nice's processes and products are evaluated on this basis to reduce their effects on health, water, atmosphere and soil. The aim is to bring CO2 emissions down to zero or reduce them significantly. In doing so, the company intends to align itself with the standards of the United Nations Paris climate agreement.

A sustainability report is being prepared in parallel. This comprehensive analysis of the effects of Nice's activities on the immediate environment and the environment at a global level is intended to serve as a guideline for the definition of the company's sustainable strategy.
