Sichenia invests in photovoltaics: a concrete step toward environmental and social sustainability

Sichenia takes another step forward on its path toward a more sustainable future, proudly announcing the installation of a new photovoltaic system at its production facility. This is a strategic investment that not only improves the company’s energy efficiency, but also reflects its concrete commitment to a model of responsible development that fully respects the environment and communities.

This initiative fits perfectly with the vision that has guided Sichenia for years: combining innovation, quality and respect for the planet. Solar energy today represents one of the most effective solutions for reducing the environmental impact of industrial activities, and the decision to focus on photovoltaics stems from the desire to contribute in a tangible way to the ecological transition, lowering CO₂ emissions and limiting the use of fossil fuels.

But sustainability, for us, is not only environmental: it is also social. Adopting cleaner production practices and investing in green technologies has positive impacts on the entire business ecosystem and the local area. It means protecting the health of workers, enhancing corporate responsibility and generating shared value in the long run.

In line with the message launched by Confindustria with the campaign #IChooseResponsibility, Sichenia wants to be an active part of a profound cultural change. Choosing responsibility today means doing business with an eye toward tomorrow, taking on the task of building a more equitable, sustainable and inclusive future.

Sustainability is no longer an option, but a necessity. And it is also a value choice, strengthening our identity and the bond with customers, suppliers and stakeholders. With the new photovoltaic plant, Sichenia renews its promise: to continue to innovate while respecting the world that hosts us.

Sichenia investe nel fotovoltaico: un passo concreto verso la sostenibilità ambientale e sociale

Sichenia compie un ulteriore passo avanti nel suo percorso verso un futuro più sostenibile, annunciando con orgoglio l’installazione di un nuovo impianto fotovoltaico presso il proprio stabilimento produttivo. Un investimento strategico che non solo migliora l’efficienza energetica dell’azienda, ma riflette anche l’impegno concreto verso un modello di sviluppo responsabile, nel pieno rispetto dell’ambiente e delle comunità.

Questa iniziativa si inserisce perfettamente nella visione che guida Sichenia da anni: coniugare innovazione, qualità e rispetto per il pianeta. L’energia solare rappresenta oggi una delle soluzioni più efficaci per ridurre l’impatto ambientale delle attività industriali, e la scelta di puntare sul fotovoltaico nasce dalla volontà di contribuire in modo tangibile alla transizione ecologica, abbattendo le emissioni di CO₂ e limitando l’uso di fonti fossili.

Ma la sostenibilità, per noi, non è solo ambientale: è anche sociale. L’adozione di pratiche produttive più pulite e l’investimento in tecnologie green hanno ricadute positive sull’intero ecosistema aziendale e sul territorio. Significa tutelare la salute dei lavoratori, valorizzare la responsabilità d’impresa e generare valore condiviso nel lungo periodo.

In linea con il messaggio lanciato da Confindustria con la campagna #IChooseResponsibility, Sichenia vuole essere parte attiva di un cambiamento culturale profondo. Scegliere la responsabilità oggi significa fare impresa con uno sguardo rivolto al domani, assumendosi il compito di costruire un futuro più equo, sostenibile e inclusivo.

La sostenibilità non è più un’opzione, ma una necessità. Ed è anche una scelta di valore, che rafforza la nostra identità e il legame con clienti, fornitori e stakeholder. Con il nuovo impianto fotovoltaico, Sichenia rinnova la propria promessa: continuare a innovare, rispettando il mondo che ci ospita.

Trend Colours 2025: Transform your home with Sichenia

In 2025, interior design is renewed with a palette that combines depth and transparency, just like the water that flows. Shades of blue range from the intense tones that evoke the depths of the ocean, to the fresh colours of sea water and tropical lagoons. These, together with warm brown, vibrant reds, spicy yellows and other nuances, transform each room into a unique space where nature and modernity meet in perfect harmony. One of the international reference points is Pantone, which with its Mocha Mousse, announced in December, has unveiled the shade destined to influence the world of design, beauty and technology.

In terms of colour and trends, however, there are no fixed rules. The colour landscape is constantly changing. Some shades, such as pink already consecrated for years or colors inspired by nature like the same blue and green, remain among the most popular preferences, becoming true must-have. Others, on the other hand, mark the season with their ephemeral presence.

This year, the color map introduces a significant novelty: the return to dark and nostalgic tones. Earthy browns, crimson reds and sidereal greys bring a reflective aesthetic, steeped in memory and recollection, and contrast with energizing oranges and delicate aquatic tones, all supported by balanced neutral palettes.

Colour becomes the language with which we express our identity, telling stories of comfort, memory and innovation. A mix of influences that tells the spirit of the time through the power of color, able to infuse vitality and serenity in any environment.

Bring a touch of freshness and style to your home with the 2025 trend colors, perfectly matched with Sichenia products. Thanks to the porcelain stoneware effect marble, concrete, stone, terracotta, granite, wood and the decorations of the Art by Industrial Collection, you can create unique and sophisticated atmospheres, creating harmonious combinations that enhance the beauty and uniqueness of each environment.
