The company promotes environmental protection through a policy of recycling materials and through our technology which supports the use of solar energy and energy conservation.
Moreover, our staff is active in voluntary work and activities with non-profit organizations.

Our technology itself demonstrates our corporate commitment to clean environment and sustainable food supply through the use of solar energy in greenhouse farming.
Additionally, the commercialization process of our technological solutions will comply with ISO standards guaranteeing stability and the operational life of the PV products, therefore, a 3^rd party certification company will certify the required standards for the production of our solar glass.

Our experience and commitment to reduce negative impact on the environment and positively contribute to sustainable environmental, economic and societal development can be showcased by the awards Brite has received from a variety of organisations such as:

Our Solar Glass will contribute to a more productive food supply system for the global food raising demand.
Currently, there is a tremendous pressure on the food production systems and processes because of the projected population increase (to 9.7 billion by 2050). UN’s estimations indicate that feeding this global population would require a 70% increase in food production. To support this projection, there will be a need for deployment of new technology in agriculture in order to be able to support food production yields with decreased energy demands. Solar glass technology is aimed at meeting these requirements as it has shown the potential to compensate for up to 25% of the energy consumption in greenhouses; thus, clearly showing its great potential to help meet the rising global demand for food.

Our Solar Glass will also address current environmental issues derived from greenhouse farming.
Greenhouse farming increases crop yield, reduces water usage and protects losses against most environmental conditions. However, greenhouse farming also implies both higher energy costs and gas emission. Indeed, agriculture production accounts for 14% of global energy demand and for 13.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Our Solar Glass will contribute to the reduction of energy-related CO2 and methane emissions, while also substituting the use of oil and gas to generate clean energy for heating/ cooling operations. Moreover, our innovative technology is completely aligned with the EU 2020 Energy Strategy and contributes to the energy savings in buildings to up to 30%, with current energy consumption of 40% globally, and up to 80%, in greenhouses with current total energy costs of up to 7.2% in some EU countries.

Regarding gender equality, Brite promotes gender balance and ensures equal opportunities for women and men in the company.

The recruiting procedures are opened to everyone and are based on objective criteria, valuing experience and professional capabilities, and equal opportunities are offered for all new vacancies.
