Founded in 1963, Milanello - located near Varese on a hill at 300 meters above sea level - is surrounded by a green oasis of about 160 thousand square meters.

There is a pine forest and a pond, from which water is taken to irrigate the 6 playing fields and the green areas of Sports Centre, through a water recycling system. AC Milan Group periodically carries out the maintenance of all the surrounding green areas.

Milanello electrical power system has been completely rebuilt, to improve the usability of the infrastructures, for a greater energy efficiency and consequent savings for the entire Sports Centre.

Thanks to this intervention, Milanello electricity consumption decreased from 1,384,347 KWH of 2015/2016 Season to 854,326 KWH in 2016/2017 Season.

During 2016/2017 Season, a water heating system - fuelled with natural gas - was installed on the grass surface of Milanello's main training ground, ensuring maximum sports performance in all weather conditions, reducing the number of possible injuries and maintenance costs. 

For this reason, the consumption of natural gas registered an increase of 92.390 m3.

Located in the Parco Agricolo Sud of Milan, Peppino Vismara Sports Centre occupies an area of about 51,000 square meters, located just before the border with the Municipality of Rozzano.  

In line with its sustainability targets, AC Milan periodically takes care of the maintenance and protection of 1,100 plants in the Park - close to the Sports Centre field among which white poplars, black poplars, willows, elms, white hornbeams, English oaks, rural maples, hawthorns, dogwoods and blackthorns.

The Group also carries out a census of the plants and activities for the prevention and treatment of those affected by the “pink cancer” - a disease that affects branches, leaves and trunk with deep cracks. The main activities carried out by the Group are: periodically checking the state of health of the plants; disinfecting the wounds due to pruning; cutting the infected branches; and any other specific treatment aimed at keeping the trees in the best conditions possible.

During the season Casa Milan’s cogeneration system[RM(-M1]  has been developed. Thanks to this system, it is possible to produce thermal energy and electricity through a single system, powered by a single primary energy source.
