Energy Efficiency for Companies and ESG Criteria: How Thermal Storage Can Make a Difference

In the current context, where sustainability is a central element for growth, energy efficiency for companies represents one of the most concrete levers to improve environmental performance and access funds, incentives, and recognition. In particular, the adoption of energy efficiency solutions for companies, such as intelligent thermal storage, can significantly contribute to meeting ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria, which are increasingly relevant for Italian companies.

What ESG means and why it concerns all businesses

But what exactly is ESG? The acronym refers to a set of environmental, social, and governance parameters used to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of an ESG company.

The three main areas:

E - Environment: energy and resource management, emission reduction
S - Social: relationships with workers, local communities, safety
G - Governance: transparency, risk management, business ethics

Italian ESG companies that invest in sustainability today:

improve their market positioning,
increase the trust of investors and stakeholders,
can access sustainable finance tools and ESG reporting.

Why corporate energy efficiency is part of the "E" area

The ESG environmental area is the first on which a company can take concrete action. Improving energy efficiency for companies is not just good environmental practice, but a strategic lever to:

reduce consumption and contain costs;
increase competitiveness in public and private tenders;
optimize the ESG balance sheet, useful in rating processes and access to capital.

Key technologies for corporate energy efficiency

Here are some of the most effective solutions to start a corporate energy requalification:

Energy audit and consumption monitoring
Thermal and electrical system requalification
Waste heat recovery
Renewable energy systems (photovoltaic, solar thermal, etc.)
Storage systems such as PCM thermal batteries
Automation and intelligent plant control

All these interventions are part of the best corporate energy efficiency projects, now supported by national and regional plans.

The strategic role of thermal storage for companies

i-TES thermal batteries, based on PCM (Phase Change Material) technology, represent a decisive evolution in the field of corporate energy efficiency.

Here's why:

Reduction of consumption and cutting of heat demand peaks
Greater stability of thermal systems
Perfect integration with renewables and heat pumps
No local emissions: a plus for the ESG profile

Thanks to their ability to optimize the use of produced energy, i-TES batteries are ideal for manufacturing companies, public bodies, shopping centers, hospitals, and any facility requiring energy flexibility.

i-TES as a partner for energy efficiency

Choosing a partner like i-TES means relying on a team capable of supporting you at every stage of the journey:

energy analysis and initial assessment;
