Photovoltaic systems
With the aim of increasing the sustainability and energy efficiency of the Centre, 2,645 photovoltaic panels were installed in the car park between the Shopping Center and the Retail Park, occupying a surface area of approximately 5,500 m2 and generating clean energy of 1,356.12 Mwh per year with a maximum power of 1,084.45 kWp.
An investment that not only reduces carbon emissions, but also demonstrates I Gigli’s commitment to providing a better environment for the community and future generations.
Waste reduction – CIBO2
In I Gigli no food is wasted! The Shopping Centre, in collaboration with Food Bank, tackles food waste with a programme to recover surplus food from bars, restaurants and the hypermarket. A virtuous circle through which food is immediately redistributed to partner facilities providing food to the least fortunate while ensuring high standards of hygiene and safety.
Smart bins
NANDO arrives at I Gigli: the smart companion for a cleaner world!
We’ve installed smart bins in the Galleria that analyze waste to help you separate waste.
Each bin is equipped with sensors that help you separate waste efficiently and responsibly.

BREEAM IN-USE certification
BREEAM is an environmental sustainability assessment methodology developed by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1988. It is one of the most important international certifications, used to monitor, evaluate, and certify the sustainability of buildings.
This certification requires sustainable practices in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings. The BREEAM code includes principles and requirements that promote an integrated approach to sustainability, improving the environmental, social, and economic impact of buildings.
