Italian term or phrase: per sua voce

hi!
I'm not sure if this is business related or general but here is the sentence:
Con questo nuovo impianto, la ditta ha ottenuto, per sua voce, un abbassamento delle emissioni dello stabilimento.

I'm stuck with per sua voce... thanks for your help.

Any ideas?

"on its account" but more "according to it". Look at this example (first one I found)

"Scartiamo una figura identitaria come Giorgio Giudici, che “al 50 per cento” - **per sua voce**, ma sulle sponde leghiste la ricandidatura è data per certa - si proporrà nuovamente per il Municipio di Lugano del quale "
He says (per sua voce) 50 50 but the others say its a cert.

"According to the firm, it has ...... with this new plant"
Or you could append "or so it says" on the end.
