IGD strengthens safety and sustainability at the Esp Center in Ravenna with an innovative sanitization intervention

LED lighting systems with sanitizing technology installed

As part of the recent restyling of some areas of the ESP Shopping Centre in Ravenna, IGD, Italy’s leading listed retail real estate group, with 25 shopping malls in Italy, has introduced a brand new, innovative technological solution to improve the quality of the spaces and protect visitors: a LED lighting system with a sanitizing function.

Biovitae sanitizing lights have been installed in the recently renovated restrooms in the “historic” section of the ESP Centre. This patented technology uses a non-UV LED lighting system to sanitize environments and reduce bacterial and viral loads in the air and on surfaces. Biovitae operates safely in the presence of people during normal use of the premises, making it a particularly suitable solution for high‑footfall environments such as shopping centres.

The integration of this technology is part of an approach focused on people’s well-being, through the prevention of infection risks and the continuous improvement of the quality and safety of common areas.

The initiative represents a further step in IGD’s ESG journey, fully aligned with its targets of sustainability, social responsibility, and improvements of the managed assets as recognised by the ESG certifications and ratings achieved by the Group.
