Cementos Molins has recently invested over 6.6 million euros in the comprehensive renovation of its facilities located in Sant Vicenç dels Horts, Barcelona.
Cementos Molins celebrated the inauguration of its upgraded facilities in Sant Vicenç dels Horts, Barcelona (Spain). The event witnessed the presence of Roger Torrent, Minister of Business and Labour of the Generalitat of Catalonia. The company's investment exceeding 6.6 million euros encompasses a comprehensive office building renovation, the installation of 1,455 self-consumption photovoltaic panels and green space redesign. This renovation aligns with the company's sustainability strategy, focusing on substantial energy savings and environmental enhancements.
Through the office building renovation, the company has realized a remarkable 68.75% reduction in energy consumption compared to its pre-renovation levels, resulting in an annual decrease of 650 tons of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the company's new facilities encompass an impressive 3,250 square meters adorned with photovoltaic panels, enabling self-consumption of renewable electricity, achieving a 100% renewable energy supply for the building. Additionally, in a commitment to sustainable transportation, the company has installed 55 electric vehicle charging stations in the employee parking lot.
Moreover, Cementos Molins has undertaken a transformative redesign of the plant and office environs, with a dedicated emphasis on enhancing green spaces. The entire area has been reforested with native flora originating from the Garraf and Llobregat River regions, resilient enough to thrive without the requirement of continuous watering. Permeable concrete was used to encircle the greenery and enable rainwater absorption, naturally nurturing the plants and reducing water consumption.
