We preserve nature, for it is our home

Ivančica d.d. has been moving towards sustainability for many years. Ensuring sufficient amounts of renewable energy and protecting the human environment are fundamental requirements for the sustainable development of our civilisation. This belief is in line with the construction of its own solar power plant, which aims to increase energy efficiency and long-term profitability by using renewable energy sources. Solar energy is safe, continuous and the least harmful to the environment.

The solar power plant is mounted on the roof of the existing building at the company's headquarters, in Ivanec. It consists of 774 panels with a total power of 290 KW.

In the spring months, the photovoltaic power plant produces about 1.3 MWh daily. Depending on the sunny days, savings will reach up to 60% of daily consumption. In addition, its positive effects on the environment are very important.

Since November 2021, when the power plant was put into operation, 91 MWh of electricity has been produced. This is equivalent to 36 tons of coal and avoided emissions of 42 tons of CO2, which is equivalent to planting 60 trees that would absorb this amount of CO2.

Ivančica d.d. uses 100% green energy in its entire business. Electricity purchased from suppliers also comes from renewable sources, which is confirmed by the certificate "ZelEn – friend of nature"
