Lamborghini and sustainability
For the second consecutive year Lamborghini was awarded as one of the most sustainable Italian companies, and received the Green Star Award for 2022. The award is awarded annually by the ITQF, the German Institute for Quality and Finance, in collaboration with the IMWF , Institute for Management and Economic Research of Hamburg.The objective of the Green Star Award is to analyze the production industry to find those who operate and produce in an ecological and virtuous way, with the main aim of reducing to the minimum possible the negative impact that production can have on the environment and on people: the so-called 'green economy', the one to which the whole world of industry should aspire in the years to come.
CEO Stephan Winkelmann commented:
"We are very proud to have received the Green Star Award also in 2022. Our commitment now dates back to 2009, when we started working in a green perspective up to 2015, when our production plant is been certified as 'CO2 neutral'. Today we continue on this path, and we do it also by spreading greater awareness on this issue. Our plan will continue at least until 2030, with the hybridization of the models in the catalog and the birth of a new 100% electric model. "
Lamborghini's goal is to go from having a factory with carbon neutral certification, to being an entire company with carbon neutral certification: it will be a difficult path, but the careful development of the entire surface company in recent years will undoubtedly allow the company to succeed in its intent.
Lamborghini Receives Green Star 2022 Award
For the second year in a row, Automobili Lamborghini has received the Green Star 2022 award, recognizing it as one of the most sustainable companies in Italy thanks to the numerous initiatives and investments made in environmental sustainability since 2009.
The award is given annually by the German Institute for Quality and Finance (ITQF) in collaboration with the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) of Hamburg, which carry out complex and detailed online research to determine the companies that are most committed to green economy strategies, with the specific intent to minimize the industrial impact in full respect for the environment and society.
The study collects over 1 million references to the 2000 companies analyzed. The thirty aspects monitored include ecological, economic, and social sustainability, innovation and technology. The result is the most in-depth survey of the company’s online reputation regarding sustainability in Italy.
The main projects developed by Lamborghini since 2009 include the creation of a park where 10,000 oak trees were planted; biomonitoring projects with bees; the construction of one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Emilia-Romagna; and the creation of a district heating and trigeneration plant, fundamental in obtaining site carbon neutrality certification in 2015, which has been maintained to this day even following the doubling of the company’s surface area.
The most recent initiatives include the circular economy project with leather and carbon fiber waste recycling and the launch of a sustainable logistics project, which has led to an 85% reduction in the emissions produced by transport of Urus body shells, which now travel by rail.
Today Lamborghini’s sustainability commitments are accelerating with the goal of going from a CO2-neutral production site to a CO2-neutral company, through a holistic approach involving the product, factory, logistics, and supply chain.
