WE CHOSE TO BE SUSTAINABLE.

We align with the following sustainable development goals

Circular Economy

Through our circular economy program, we aim to achieve the maximum utilization of our waste. That’s why in
the year 2022, we utilized 95% of these materials and operated under the premise of reducing and reusing our
materials.

Climate change- Reduction of GHG (Our Carbon Footprint)

On November 24, 2023, we received our Carbon Neutral certification from Icontec, as a demonstration of our commitment stated in our overarching purpose of delivering “Solutions that contribute to sustainable development”.


To achieve this, we defined our roadmap with short, medium, and long-term objectives, incorporating mitigation, adaptation, and compensation strategies to reach and maintain emissions neutrality in our operations.


Our journey toward carbon neutrality began with measuring the carbon footprint, using the 2022 baseline, and its verification by Icontec. We established a decarbonization plan focused on reducing emissions through energy efficiency and sustainable mobility strategies. Additionally, we compensated 100% of emissions through the Delfines Cúpica REDD+ conservation project, located in Bahía Solano, Juradó/Chocó.
