Solar footwear factory II

Direct:

• Cost reduction for the final client: the decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the consumption site, helps to avoid distribution costs, making this a more competitive option than reverting to the national grid. Furthermore, the decreased dependency of the company on the national grid, makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.
• Aim of developing a more sustainable production: ENShoes uses techniques that minimize the use of raw materials; produce the shoe soles with reused and recycled materials; and, through a third party, ensure that production residues are correctly recycled. With the savings arising from the photovoltaic plant, the company aims to increase sustainability throughout the production chain.

Indirect:

• Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of 175MWh, the solar plant will help prevent the emission of 36 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent to planting 1,615 trees.

In addition to this, at the end of each project, the promoter carries out one of the initiatives mentioned below, in line with its corporate social and environmental responsibility and the client’s desire:

• 5€ donation to a non-profit social institution based in the client’s area and of their choice, for each installed kW;
• Planting of trees with a 2cm caliber, for each kW installed, and in a location chosen by the client.
• Implementation of a solar photovoltaic plant with a nominal power of 1% of that of the plant installed in the project, at an entity, institution, or association based in the same area as the project’s.
