SIT in support of parents: new parental policy for SIT people unveiled

February 27th, 2023 Posted by Marco Travaglio Homepage 0 thoughts on “SIT in support of parents: new parental policy for SIT people unveiled”

Padua, February 27, 2023 – Promotion and support of parenting through concrete actions to support parents that add to the measures already established in the national labour contract and current legislation, with the goal of being an increasingly inclusive employer attentive to people’s needs. These are the pillars behind the new parental policy of SIT, a multi-national listed on the Euronext Milan segment of the Italian Stock Exchange that creates intelligent solutions for monitoring environmental conditions and measuring consumption, which will officially come into effect on March 1, 2023.

“With this and other corporate welfare, well-being and inclusion initiatives, we want to concretely promote a culture based on meritocracy, equality and respect for all kinds of diversity” stated Roberta Fagotto, Group HR Director at SIT. “With the broader goal of supporting the sustainable growth of people and generating a positive, safe and stimulating work environment, we are committed every day to the implementation of equity initiatives, and the recently launched parental policy is testament to this.”

With the parental policy – which applies to all SIT and MeteRSit Italia employees who announce a maternity and/or paternity, whether natural or adoptive, SIT seeks to support parents during two phases: in the prenatal period, in order to facilitate preparation for the arrival of the child, and in the period immediately following the child’s arrival until the child is three years old, so as to facilitate recovery and work-life balance.

Within a broad range of supporting actions, in line with the goals stated in the Sustainability Plan to 2025 and in particular with the “Made with Care” pillar dedicated to social responsibility, SIT has added several measures to support parents, including:

● 5 days of additional, paid leave for new fathers to be taken within the first year of the child’s life or within the first year of joining the family;
● Euro 700 “welfare on top” to support parents with children up to 3 years of age;

SIT partners with the “Value of Water Community” promoted by The European House Ambrosetti

February 16th, 2023 Posted by Marco Travaglio Homepage 0 thoughts on “SIT partners with the “Value of Water Community” promoted by The European House Ambrosetti”

Milan, February 16, 2023 – For the third consecutive year SIT, a multinational listed on the Euronext Milan segment of Borsa Italiana (Italian Stock Exchange) which creates intelligent solutions for controlling environmental conditions and measuring consumption, renews its partnership with the Value of Water Community (“Community Valore Acqua per l’Italia”), which involves the key players in the extended Italian water supply chain and the national and European institutions of reference, aiming to favor a constructive and permanent discussion on the management of the water resource.

Established in 2019, the Community has reached its fourth year of activity, the culmination of which will be on March 22 when, on World Water Day, the 2023 White Paper developed by the Community will be presented in Rome together with the Blue Book of Utilitalia and the Utilitatis Foundation.

SIT, which entered the water meter market at the end of 2020 with the acquisition of the Portuguese company Janz, also pursues sustainability through the implementation of products which, through the introduction of new technologies for measuring the consumption of water resources, allows the end user to limit losses and to be aware of their consumption with a significant positive impact in reducing waste, guaranteeing water saving and energy efficiency. All of this is possible thanks to IoT technology, used by SIT to develop technological solutions capable of limiting energy consumption. An example is the new generation of smart water meters (also developed by SIT through its subsidiary MeteRSIT) which, if used on a large scale, could in fact help to drastically reduce water consumption and waste. The new meters are in fact equipped with a communication system that makes it possible to measure consumption remotely, identifying any losses and inefficient uses. These meters are one of the enabling elements for the provision of services aimed at network efficiency as well as water balancing.

SIT acquires stake in UpSens (Optoi Group), an innovative SME developing air quality monitoring sensors

January 17th, 2023 Posted by Marco Travaglio Homepage 0 thoughts on “SIT acquires stake in UpSens (Optoi Group), an innovative SME developing air quality monitoring sensors”

Padua, January 17, 2023 – SIT, a multinational listed on the Euronext Milan segment of the Italian Stock Exchange which creates intelligent solutions for the control of environmental conditions and consumption measurement, announces the acquisition of a stake in UpSens, an innovative SME based in Trento and belonging to the Optoi Group, specialising in the development of devices for monitoring indoor environmental parameters, both in standard and custom versions, with specific expertise in air quality. The transaction was completed through a share capital increase after which SIT holds a 10% stake in UpSens.

Basis of the transaction – The pandemic has brought an awareness that the ongoing monitoring of air quality, noise, and brightness in indoor environments, as well as the automated control of the systems involved in their management (air conditioning, heating, and ventilation), are a basic requirement for people’s health. A focus upon health and well-being in indoor environments is growing: in Italy and other industrialised countries, people spend about 90% of their time indoors, where the air can be as much as 5 times more polluted than outdoors. Smart buildings have therefore grown in popularity over recent years, involving the digital and automated connection, thanks to IoT and home automation, of residential and office buildings, which therefore become “intelligent”, capable of monitoring quality parameters and managing in an automated way the systems that make an indoor space healthy.

Major synergies will arise from the collaboration between SIT and UpSens in the area of air quality solutions, particularly in the CMV (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation) segment. VMC solutions enable air exchange and filtration and, through heat exchange between the outgoing and incoming air, improve the thermal efficiency of buildings. SIT is already a supplier of control electronics for the CMV segment and plans to further expand its range over the coming years. The partnership with UpSens is part of this strategic development path for the segment.
