SUSTAINABILITY AND ESG

Corporate Sustainability

The pandemic, wars, and the climate crisis teach us that the time to act is now. We are facing not only a health and climate emergency, but above all, a human emergency.

The benefit corporation structure is a natural demonstration of our practical commitment to sustainability and our determination to protect our environmental mission.

Our goal, as a company that designs, manufactures, and installs photovoltaic solutions specifically related to the industrial and agritech sectors, is to support businesses in their journey toward greater energy and environmental sustainability. Our services enable high-consumption companies to reduce and optimize their consumption, thereby lowering costs and emissions.

Since its founding, we have understood that there is always a better way to do things, and now, more than ever, we believe that the great economic, environmental, and social challenges of our time require a commitment from all companies and investors.

For this reason, i-Pergola is constantly searching for the most advanced ways, models, solutions, and technologies that will allow us to make a positive impact on people's lives, cities, social and work dynamics, the way we do business, and, ultimately, the planet.

We want to help bring humanity back and believe that, in order to do so, we must create more economic, social, and environmental value than we use to operate. Evolving towards new paradigms is a necessary choice to redefine sustainable economic models.
