Innovation

Green World Solutions is an Italian company headquartered in the industrial district of Frosinone that is reshaping how organizations approach energy efficiency and smart infrastructure. Founded almost fifteen years ago, the company collaborates with major commercial and industrial clients across Italy, guiding each project from initial technical analysis and tailored lighting design to seamless installation and ongoing support. By becoming a single point of contact for clients, Green World Solutions simplifies the transition toward more efficient and technology-driven buildings.

This innovation stands out for its ability to combine high-performance LED fixtures with adaptive lighting controls that regulate brightness based on natural light and occupancy. These systems enable companies to monitor energy consumption in real time and optimize performance with precision, reducing energy use by up to 90 percent while enhancing comfort, safety and visual quality. The company’s expertise includes supporting clients in achieving world-class environmental certifications such as BREEAM, LEED, and WELL by integrating smart sensors, digital monitoring, and high-efficiency equipment into existing assets or new constructions. This approach proves that upgrading infrastructure can be a powerful driver of sustainable innovation.

Green World Solutions contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals. By expanding the adoption of efficient LED technologies and promoting water efficiency, it advances Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7) and Climate Action (SDG 13). Through its integration of digital monitoring tools and energy-efficient systems, it supports Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9). Its commitment to long-lasting lighting systems promotes Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), while improving building performance and user well-being strengthens Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11). Through its work, GWS demonstrates that innovation and sustainability can move together toward a more efficient and resilient future

Inspiration

The inspiration for Green World Solutions emerged from a moment of collective realization: sustainability could no longer be a future ambition: it had to become a present responsibility. As companies faced rising environmental demands and increasing pressure to modernize their infrastructures, Green World Solutions saw an opportunity to make sustainability tangible through light, efficiency, and smarter resource management. The innovation was clear: a comprehensive service that transforms existing buildings through advanced LED technology and integrated efficiency solutions, making environmental progress measurable in everyday spaces.

For Filippo Salati, Business Development Manager, this journey is deeply personal. “One of the most meaningful moments for me was when we improved the sustainability performance of five buildings, moving them from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’ under the BREEAM certification,” he shared. “It showed that upgrading what already exists can become a powerful driver for sustainable transition. I felt proud to reach that goal alongside our partners and our team.”

His inspiration is rooted not only in environmental purpose but also in legacy and responsibility. “Working alongside my father, our CEO, makes me grateful every day. Innovating a company that has been in the market for almost fifteen years is a privilege,” he reflected.

For Filippo, innovation means more than reducing emissions or improving efficiency; it means carrying forward family values, building trust, and proving that sustainability can shape how people work, live, and envision the future. When technology meets purpose, progress becomes real, visible, and human-centered.

Overall impact

The impact of Green World Solutions’ innovation can be measured through both quantitative and qualitative results. In the short term, the company’s integrated LED and smart lighting systems have achieved energy savings of up to 90% compared to traditional lighting technologies. During one of its most recent projects, GWS improved the sustainability performance of five logistics buildings, covering a total surface of 70,000 m2, which achieved a +15% BREEAM performance uplift in just a few months. These results demonstrate how technological innovation can directly translate into measurable improvements in building sustainability ratings.

From an environmental perspective, these energy savings correspond to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, estimated at hundreds of tons per year, depending on the size and use of the facility. Additionally, the new LED systems have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, meaning less maintenance, lower material waste, and a reduced need for replacement components.

In the medium to long term, the innovation contributes to the energy transition of the real estate sector, which is responsible for about 40% of global energy consumption. By optimizing the efficiency of existing assets instead of demolishing and rebuilding, GWS helps its clients minimize environmental impact while increasing property value and attractiveness to sustainable investors.

Overall, the innovation proves that sustainability can be a strategic growth driver, combining environmental responsibility with measurable business benefits and long-lasting energy efficiency.

Business benefit

Because Green World Solutions introduced an integrated service combining LED lighting and water efficiency, the company has gained a stronger position in the sustainable energy market. Founded in 2012 and based in Frosinone, GWS works mainly with real estate investment funds and industrial clients across Italy. By developing customized “relamping” projects and intelligent lighting systems, the company has expanded its operations and opened new investment opportunities in the rapidly growing sustainability sector.

This innovation has helped increase the company’s revenue and client retention. By offering measurable results and high-quality execution, GWS has strengthened trust-based relationships with existing partners and attracted new ones looking for long-term sustainability improvements. Its data-driven and consulting approach differentiates it from traditional lighting providers and allows the company to deliver added value beyond technology. As a result, Green World Solutions is now recognized as a reliable partner capable of turning sustainability goals into concrete business results.

Internally, the innovation has also benefited employees. It has encouraged teamwork, continuous learning, and a sense of pride in contributing to meaningful projects. The collaboration between the CEO and his son, who serves as Business Development Manager, reinforces a family-driven culture of innovation and responsibility. Because the business combined technological expertise with human commitment, these positive outcomes have occurred: growth, credibility, and lasting partnerships that continue to expand Green World Solutions’ presence in the sustainable energy industry.

Social and environmental benefit

Green World Solutions has developed its innovations to promote energy efficiency and sustainability. In this way, it has generated positive effects for both society and the environment. The company operates mainly in Italy and across Europe, collaborating with real estate investment funds, industrial clients, and property managers committed to modernizing their properties. Through projects that replace traditional lighting with advanced LED systems and smart controls, Green World Solutions helps reduce energy waste and carbon emissions while improving the quality of life in working and urban spaces.

From an environmental perspective, the innovation provides concrete, long-term benefits. LED technology consumes up to 90% less electricity and lasts significantly longer than conventional lighting. This leads to fewer materials used, less maintenance, and reduced waste. Additionally, the company promotes water efficiency by implementing monitoring systems that help prevent the unnecessary use of this vital resource. These practices directly support global goals such as Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action by encouraging organizations to operate in a more responsible way

In terms of social impact, the innovation improves comfort, safety, and well-being in the environments where people live and work. Better lighting quality supports visibility, focus, and overall satisfaction, while sustainable building management contributes to healthier communities. By guiding its clients through practical sustainability initiatives, Green World Solutions raises environmental awareness and shows how technology can benefit both people and the planet
