Water consumption
With regard to water consumption, the Ratti Group is launching a process which reduces water consumption during the phases of the production process.
The process was initially launched at the Guanzate plant, which consumes 98.13% of the Group’s water resources. The machinery used in the production process was replaced by equipment that optimised the quantity of water used and increased process e ciency.
In total, 99.38% of the water consumed by the Ratti Group is drawn from a dedicated well (with only 0.62% of water consumption deriving from the aqueduct) exclusively for the use of the Guanzate plant.

As was the case for electrical and thermal consumption, the increase in water consumption recorded in 2017 is, proportionally, significantly lower than the increase in the quantity of fabric produced. The increase was, in fact, 8.22% overall (compared with +15.08% for metres of fabric produced) and was fully covered by using the Company’s well (+8.58%), while water consumption deriving from the aqueduct fell significantly (-29.14%).
As an overall result, water consumption per metre of fabric produced fell by 5.96%.
