1.2 Describe your business activities
*CavArt S.p.A., a company legally established in Italy and headquartered at Via G. Pascoli, 10/A, 24020 Gorle BG, specializes in plant engineering design. CavArt addresses a comprehensive range of industrial processes employing an engineering-centric approach and leveraging cutting-edge design technologies. The company\\\'s scope encompasses both the revamping of existing plants and the conceptualization of greenfield installations.
For the execution of engineering services, CavArt utilizes advanced technologies, including:
- Laser scan surveying
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Machinery design through parametric 3D modeling
- Structural analysis
- CavArt\\\'s operational domains include:
- Glass recycling and processing plants
- Batch houses for glass manufacturing facilities
- Granulation and processing plants for NPK, SSP, and TSP fertilizers
Revamping of existing industrial plants
- Bulk material handling
- Rotating machinery: granulators, dryers, and coolers
- Dust extraction and filtration systems
- Steel and reinforced concrete structures

Commitment and Targets *
2.1 Net zero target year
*2045
2.1.1 Base year
*2024
2.2 Near-term target
*25% of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2030
25 of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2035
25 of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2040
25 of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2045
2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.
*Scope 1 Emission Reduction: A 25% reduction in emissions every 5 years during the period 2025-2040 will be achieved by replacing diesel-powered equipment and vehicles with electric vehicles. This is an effective choice, but it requires careful planning for the installation of charging infrastructure and fleet management. The remaining emissions will be neutralized by utilizing carbon credits for offsetting by 2045.
Scope 2 Emission Reduction: A substantial portion of the GHG reduction will result from the enhancement of the photovoltaic system through the installation of new panels by 2035. This will allow for covering more than half of the energy需求. Finally, to eliminate indirect emissions associated with electricity consumption, CavArt will procure 100% certified renewable energy by 2040. The remaining emissions will be neutralized by utilizing carbon credits for offsetting by 2045.
Technological Improvements: CavArt will continue to implement advanced technologies for treatment and recovery. These innovations will aid in achieving sustainability goals.

Technological Improvements: CavArt will continue to implement advanced technologies for treatment and recovery. These innovations will aid in achieving sustainability goals.
3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.
*In 2024, CavArt calculated its direct emissions (Scope 1), linked to sources directly within the company such as diesel fuel used for machinery and in the organization\\\'s vehicles, and its indirect emissions (Scope 2) resulting from the procurement of imported electricity.
Emissions from the value chain, attributable indirectly to the organization (Scope 3), were not calculated. The emissions calculation study was conducted according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) methodology, through the use of the Equipoise tool in partnership with SME Climate Hub.
Value Chain Emissions (optional) *
