Energy consumption: Since 2017, MPS has been undertaking projects to achieve its target of a 10% reduction in energy consumption by 2025 compared with 2017, with the support of the Swiss Energy Agency for the Private Sector (AEnEC). In the face of the 2022 crisis, MPS has identified and implemented new measures to optimize the use of production equipment in order to achieve a 17% reduction in 2023 compared with 2021.
Solar panels: The roofs of MPS buildings in Biel, Bonfol and Court are covered with solar panels, providing a total output of 750 kW. These panels produce enough clean energy to cover 15% of our electricity consumption.
Beehives: At our Court site, we have installed beehives next to the factory. They promote local biodiversity and attract bees that would otherwise rarely venture onto this industrial estate. The honey produced is offered to employees at the end of each year.
