UFI, a global leader in filtration and thermal management solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as green hydrogen technologies, has presented its Sustainability Report 2024. 

The comprehensive document shows that in 2024, UFI achieved a 21% reduction in direct Scope 1 emissions through its actions on natural gas, fuel, and refrigerant gas use. Other sustainability actions highlighted include:

• A 5% improvement in the Energy Intensity Index
• A 12% reduction in electricity consumption in the APAC region
• A commitment towards using more renewable energy, such as the more than 500,000 kWh which has been self-generated through photovoltaic plants in India
• New photovoltaic plants planned in China and the Czech Republic
• The 3,252 MWh purchased in green energy certificates (RECs)
• Hazardous waste recycling has more than doubled from 2023 to 331.60 tons (or 5.2% of total recycled waste, up from 2.8% in the previous year).

The Sustainability Report 2024 highlights the group's key technological assets and investments, from the patented FormulaUFI high-performance and long-lasting filter media to the new Thermal Management business unit, which provides systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. The development of the green hydrogen supply chain with UFI Hydrogen is also included. 

“Sustainability for us is not an option, but a responsibility. We need to create technologies that build a better future, for people and for the planet,” says Giorgio Girondi, Chairman of UFI. “In a fast-changing world, we don't chase trends, we invest in what we believe in. We innovate to meet industrial and environmental challenges with concrete solutions that generate real and lasting value. From hydrogen to electric, from filtration to thermal management, every choice we make stems from a clear vision and translates into a tangible impact. But the real transformation is not only technological, it is cultural, and it is made by people who share the same purpose to build the future we want together.”
