Overview

The 3D Plan, spanning 2021-2025, focuses on Diversification, Digitalisation, and Decarbonisation, with a total investment of €69 million. This plan aims to transform the company into a sustainable entity by diversifying its productive structure, automating processes, and meeting environmental regulations.

Investment and Financials

The plan includes 20 projects and is expected to add €63 million to EBITDA by 2025. From 2026-2029, an additional €23 million will be invested, bringing the total to €92 million and generating an additional €131 million in EBITDA. The plan will be financed internally, with potential acceleration from European public funding.

Diversification

This dimension aims to reduce dependence on the chlor-alkali process by enhancing the intermediate chemical, pharmaceutical, and water purification segments. These projects are highly profitable and target markets with supply deficits.

Digitalisation

The digitalisation efforts focus on reducing operating costs, increasing production and sales, and improving customer loyalty. Eleven projects will enhance management capacity across production, commercial, logistical, and administrative processes through automated data management.

Decarbonisation

The decarbonisation projects aim to mitigate climate change and adapt to new industrial regulations. Five major projects will focus on energy efficiency, climate change adaptation, hydrogen use, circular economy, and sustainable mobility. The goal is to reduce direct CO2 emissions by 39% by 2025.
