Description

Recognizing the urgency of climate change and the responsibility of businesses to mitigate its impacts, Plaisio Computers has embedded a set of systematic practices into the core of its operations to reduce the environmental footprint of its business activities, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.

The starting point of this effort was in 2023, with the installation of photovoltaic panels at the company’s headquarters in Magoula, marking the launch of a broader plan for the energy upgrade of Plaisio’s facilities.

By 2025, the company has invested a total of €524,000 in the installation of photovoltaic systems across selected buildings of its infrastructure, with the most recent project becoming operational at the beginning of the year. These investments significantly contribute to reducing dependence on conventional energy sources and enhancing the company’s energy autonomy.

In parallel, more than €140,000 has been invested in the energy upgrade of buildings, warehouses, and retail stores within the Plaisio network, aiming to optimize energy performance and reduce operational carbon emissions.

These actions are part of a broader sustainable development plan that Plaisio is committed to strengthening and expanding in the coming years, guided by environmental responsibility and innovation.
