GEWISS presents the 2025 Sustainability Report
GEWISS has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, reaffirming its commitment to an increasingly innovative, integrated, and sustainability-driven industrial model. Prepared on a voluntary basis and inspired by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), while maintaining alignment with GRI principles, the document provides a comprehensive account of the results achieved between January 1 and December 31, 2025, across the key dimensions of People, Processes, and Products.
Group development priorities
GEWISS continues to strengthen its international footprint, consolidating its position as a leading player in energy management and protection, electric mobility, building automation, and smart lighting. In 2025, the reorganization of the Lighting Business Unit was completed with the integration of Beghelli into the Group, alongside the strategic alignment with Performance iN Lighting and Tvilight, enhancing the coherence and breadth of its offering.
Energy efficiency and environmental performance
In 2025, GEWISS further improved its environmental performance through targeted efficiency initiatives. These actions delivered a reduction of 204 MWh, in addition to the 1,410 MWh achieved in 2024, resulting in an overall decrease of approximately 2.4% in total consumption and a reduction of around 52 tCO₂e.
The share of renewable energy also increased. Today, 35% of the Group’s production sites are equipped with photovoltaic systems, contributing to the coverage of electricity needs and enabling a reduction of approximately 305 tCO₂e. At the same time, self-generated renewable energy rose by 41% compared to 2024.
Waste management performance remains strong, with 93% of total waste classified as non-hazardous.

People, safety culture, and social responsibility
As of December 31, 2025, GEWISS employs 3,297 people, marking a 49% increase compared to the previous year and reflecting a strengthened organizational structure. Permanent contracts account for 96.8% of the workforce, while female representation has reached 40%. Training hours exceeded 29,000, confirming a strong focus on continuous skills development. Workplace safety remained a central priority throughout the year, supported by a preventive approach and the ongoing enhancement of dedicated processes and tools.
