Our energy efficiency improvement project

Sustainability is not an ancillary goal for CAE, but a concrete responsibility to the environment, local areas and communities for which we work every day.

Our operational vision is also underpinned by a structured environmental management process, as evidenced by the ISO 14001 certification, which confirms our systematic approach to continuous improvement in environmental performance. This certification is not just a formal achievement, but a concrete guide to our strategic choices. It is also thanks to the principles of prevention, optimisation of resources and environmental impact reduction set out in the standard that we have directed and planned investments in the recent energy efficiency improvement project. This was a structural intervention that also testifies to our commitment to contributing to the goals of Agenda 2030, especially Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy and 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure.

The entire project was guided by a clear vision: to reduce energy consumption, optimise resources and adopt more sustainable, high-performance technologies.

Specifically, what has been done?

- Investments in advanced technologies for heating and cooling management, which alone contribute to an estimated annual saving of 99,600 kWh of electricity and 5,900 Smc of natural gas, with an expected emission reduction of 57 tonnes of CO₂.

- Installation of a new generation photovoltaic system with a capacity of 140 kW, capable of converting solar energy into a stable, clean and renewable resource. The installed system is designed to cover most of the company's energy needs.

- Replacement of all lighting points with low energy LED systems, accompanied by a strategic review of their layout. More efficient, targeted and comfortable lighting will reduce waste and improve the quality of operating areas from the end of January 2026.

These actions were implemented with a significant investment by CAE, and represent a fundamental part of our journey towards an increasingly responsible, innovative and sustainable business model. A commitment that is rooted in our mission: to contribute to creating a world that is more prepared for the risks that communities face in relation to natural events, thanks to our unique mix of expertise, innovation and commitment.

Being a leader in our sector not only means developing advanced and interoperable solutions, but doing so with a constant eye on protecting the local area and the environment.

The recently completed energy efficiency improvement project is a further step towards a business that combines innovation, competitiveness and sustainability. We will continue to invest in this vision, because the future we envision is safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
