ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY

IAME TOWARDS THE GREEN TURN IN KARTING

We are aware that a serious, responsible and modern Company plays an important role not only for its customers and collaborators, but also for the socio-economic fabric and for the area in which it operates each day. The commitment to sustainability arises in Iame from the love we have for our land where each employee leads their professional and private life. For tsuch reasons we support with firm enthusiasm the initiatives aimed at the protection and development of our territory and we invest in internal projects with the aim of constantly reducing the environmental impact of our production activities, as well as in careful choices in the selection of the materials and our providers.
Operating in a sustainable way is for Iame a need shared by all company levels and made concrete through tangible initiatives.

THE HEART OF NATURE

THE CHOICE OF ENVIRONMETAL SUSTAINABILITY

We use one hundred percent renewable certified green energy in all of our settlements. We know for sure both the plant from which it comes and the source used to produce it. This is guaranteed by TÜV SÜD, an accredited and internationally recognized brand.

Not only did we make a choice of environmental sustainability, but we wanted the identikit of the energy we consume.

Each of our recipes has in its DNA the water of the Hydroelectric Power Plant of Grosio, in Valtellina, whose oldest structure dates back to 1917. The machine room of the plant is in a large cave inside the mountain, perfectly integrated into the suggestive environmental context and can be reached by going through a tunnel 600 meters long.

Protecting the environment is a daily exercise: every day our attention is focused on reducing waste and production waste. We have reached a hundred percent level of separate collection within the plant.

It is essential to think in terms of sustainability and biodiversity, both for the planet and for those who live there.

THE RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT IN MOTORSPORT

Respect for the environment is fundamental in all sectors, in ours there is still a lot to do but the companies we work with have already used technologies that go in this direction. We too have decided to take this path by implementing various measures such as process optimization, constant control of time and consumption, the use of more sustainable products and load control. It is a battle that we cannot lose, a moral duty, to preserve our future and that of those who will come after us.

ACTIONS TO REDUCE POLLUTION

IAME KARTING REDUCES EMISSIONS TO PROTECT AND CHANGE THE GLOBAL SURROUNDINGS

Sustainability is becoming an urgent need for many companies, IAME does not consider it an obligation or social certificate, it represents an authentic objective that aims to define an attitude focused on awareness and concreteness of doing. We have decided to work to be the catalysts of change in karting, to awaken and nurture a new ecological awareness, to inspire and spread new business models and new models of ethics in motorsport.
With support and determination we want to bring a voice to sustainability by changing the idea into action, making sure that the purpose becomes a solution. We want to be guided by the values of ethics, in full respect of the ecosystem and all living forms present in it.

IAME CHOOSES TO PRODUCE PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY AND ACCESS THE RENEWABLE SOURCES
IAME decides to lead towards reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, taking on the responsibility of no longer being one of the causes of global warming.

The production capacity of almost 250 kWp of energy generated by the photovoltaic systems, represents an important step towards the use of clean energy. A concrete help in reducing the release of carbon dioxide or other gases into the atmosphere.

The will and commitment to significantly reduce the environmental impact of our production activities and the will of our Brand to generate energy using renewable sources, decreasing or even eliminating the use of traditional energy from, has led us to the result to be able to share with everyone the intention of doing good to our customers, our staff, to Karting and society but, above all, to the future of our planet.

Our business becomes sustainable and the photovoltaic system operating at the IAME plant is a tangible and constant testimony of our environmental commitment.

FROM FOSSIL FUELS TO RENEWABLE SOURCES
IAME choses to use renewable energy. Since many years with natural gas and from 2021 also for electrical power. With RePower, IAME plays an active role as a change agent in the most important environmental challenge of our time: the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.

IAME believes that sustainability is the cornerstone for building our future: living, transporting and working to the detriment of the environment is no longer a possible choice. Iame has always shared these values and from today, we confirm it with an important choice: our offices are powered by clean energy. We chose RePower’s energy: 100% renewable, 100% Italian and of certified origin. The residual CO2 emissions of energy production and distribution are offset by our supplier with zero impact projects. With RePower, IAME plays an active role as a change agent in the most important environmental challenge of our time: the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables.

SEE US WELL, SEE US GREEN
IAME has recently committed to replacing all lighting sources inside its buildings with low consumption devices. This change involved both the offices and the factories in the 4,500 square meters covered by our buildings. The investment of about € 40,000 for the production departments alone, has allowed the lighting system to be modernized by switching from traditional UV lamps to a 100% Würth LED system. The life of these new lamps is guaranteed for at least 7 years, thus reducing the need for continuous replacement and disposal of neon lamps as well as significantly reducing consumption.
