Geovanny Apparel greener than ever

On this occasion we approached Giancarlo Percastre Head of National Purchasing in order to
learn a little more about this great change in Geovanny Apparel's facilities and products.

Why does the need to switch to renewable energy arise?

Geovanny Apparel is a company that always seeks to use new technologies, processes and
materials that help to optimize and generate products of the best quality but always with the objective
to support the environment.
The main reasons why we chose to renew and update our system
As a company, we have a commitment to society and the environment, for us, he
cycling is not only a sport but a lifestyle, like many cyclists we see how it has gone
deteriorating our landscapes due to climate change generated mainly by other large
corporations and if we have the power to change, we are going to do it, that's why we opted for the energies
green.
They are also profitable systems: Implementing solar panels brings many benefits both
economic as well as environmental, since you can reduce the electricity bill by up to 95% and by
moment in which our panels generate energy for us, we do not emit gases that are harmful to the environment
atmosphere
What challenges did you face when considering this change in technology?
The truth is not a complicated process, although I think there is a lot of misinformation regarding this
subject, it is only a matter of searching and approaching companies and institutions that support the cause,
We had the support of the company with which we worked on this project at all times, both
with government procedures, CFE procedures and procedures to download funds, we were always kept
informed of the processes and movements that were going to be carried out.
What technology was implemented and where?
Geovanny Apparel is a company that works 100% with solar energy which makes all the
areas and departments of Geovanny Apparel can operate in an ecological and sustainable way.
We have 35 panels on the roof of our facilities which help receive energy
necessary for day to day
This process took us approximately 3 months, due to issues of procedures and facilities, but it is worth
It is worth it in its entirety, since the cost benefit, as I already mentioned, is quite a high saving,
In addition to the environmental impact that we expect to be greater.
What benefits is it bringing to the brand and the environment?
It helps us to follow our path as a green and socially responsible company, since these are
steps that we take that help to put our grain of sand for future generations.
And to our environment, as I mentioned, they are clean energies that do not pollute, we save and
We educate the population about the change.
How does our client see this change reflected?
We as a company want our customers when purchasing any of our products, to be
aware that we are a responsible company, that we are a company committed to seeking and
implement technologies that support the environment and always offering the best quality and service
in our products.
Would you recommend the use of renewable energy to other companies?
Of course yes, we have an obligation to set an example to encourage others to be

green, ecological, self-sustainable companies, and teach society that it is possible to be
friendly to the environment, every big change starts with a small step. And green energies are
A good option to start making the change.
