Ranking among the most sustainable companies in Italy.

Automobili Lamborghini reuses and regenerates its carbon fiber scraps in research and development activities. Since 2020, the company has reclaimed approximately 27 tons of waste that could not be used for other purposes. As an alternative to regeneration, materials are also donated to specialized organizations that reuse them for educational purposes during the training of new technicians and engineers.

The leather offcuts from our Upholstery Department are sorted and transformed into high-quality leather goods thanks to the project for the recycling and reuse of Lamborghini leather, in collaboration with the Cartiera laboratory.

The verticalization of this new plant reduced its footprint by 30%. 95% percent of the colors used are water-based. A water condensate recycling system recovers up to 15% of the industrial water used. Energy consumption was reduced by 25% compared to traditional equipment.

Lamborghini introduces a global rating system for its suppliers, with the aim of assessing the sustainability conduct of its business partners.

Despite the doubling of the production site, from 80,000 to 160,000 m² for the launch of the Urus project, the new buildings are all rated “A” according to the Emilia-Romagna regional energy classification and have allowed the Sant’Agata Bolognese production plant to be carbon neutral.

Introduction of reusable packaging for the supply of vehicle components.

Inauguration of the new office building, which received a record score for Italy in the LEED Platinum certification, the highest standard in the world for energy and environmental certification in the building industry. It is the first office building within a manufacturing site in Italy to receive this certification.

For the centralized supply of different forms of energy and services to the North and South areas.

The entire apiary consists of 13 hives, with a total population of some 600,000 bees, of which 120,000 foraging. This project is used to monitor the level of pollution around the production plant and in the town of Sant’Agata Bolognese.

Projects supported by the company to obtain a “CO₂ neutral” certification for the entire plant. Automobili Lamborghini is the first company in Italy to have a district heating system, which annually supplies 2,500,000 kWht of thermal energy, with annual emissions savings of approximately 1,640 tons of CO₂.

Definition of a methodology for calculating the carbon footprint at the CFK Center and measuring the associated CO2 emissions produced. This collaboration led Automobili Lamborghini to obtain, for the Composites Site, ISO 14064 certification, as the first company in the world to be certified by Det Norske Veritas.

With the inauguration of this building, dedicated to prototype and pre-series vehicles development, the Company established stringent criteria dictating that all new buildings must have a Class-A energy rating.

This initiative was developed in collaboration with the Municipality and the universities of Bologna, Bolzano and Munich, enabling around 90 tons of carbon to be sequestered, equivalent to a total absorption of 330 tons of CO₂. The project involved the planting of 10,000 young oak trees in an area covering about 17 acres.

This is a green space with an educational-informational mission, divided into various areas. A sort of botanical garden, created with the aim of establishing a comprehensive assemblage of tree and shrub species.

Covering an area of approximately 15,000 m² and with an installed capacity of 2.2 MWp, it generates an average of 2,500,000 kWh of electricity per year and is the biggest in the region’s industrial landscape. In total, this system ensures a reduction in CO₂ emissions of about 2,000 tons per year.

This is an instrument which has been adopted by the Council of the European Union with the specific goal of highlighting the responsibility of businesses in safeguarding the environment. Lamborghini was the first Italian company in the automotive sector to receive this accreditation, just a few months after the company achieved ISO 14001 certification, thereby meeting the international requirements for environmental management.
