Our environmental footprint

We preserve, reforest,
and mitigate

We have come to understand that our planet must be inhabited in a responsible manner. We promote a healthy balance between our production activities and care for the environment. This is a commitment that prioritizes the ecosystems by keeping in mind a sustainable activity, being clearly aware that each element in nature is the spark of life, and that it is our duty to preserve and protect it and so leave a positive footprint on the world.

We preserve water sources

We help preserve the quantity, quality, and availability of this valuable resource for ecosystems and nearby communities.

Water withdrawal

3 deep wells

Total extraction of groundwater
42,649 m³

Total extraction from third parties
(aqueduct)
8,139 m³

Total extraction of water from third parties
(supplied by tanker trucks)
243.2 m³

We use nonconventional energy

We are working on eco efficiency processes, trying for the lowest energy use and at the best cost. We implement strategies to reduce risks and take advantage of opportunities derived from the availability of energy sources and their adequate use, promoting the use of renewable energies.

Together with EPM, we have access to clean energy service. We are part of a select group of companies working with the Green Energy, i.e., generated through 100% renewable sources, as shown by International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-REC). We have EPM’s Green Energy seal as part of our environmental commitment by promoting power generation using renewable sources.

We manage our
carbon footprint

We measure our greenhouse gas emissions, and we carry out mitigation activities to become certified as carbon neutral in 2022.

Our challenges

Emissions management and climate change

Implement the program to recover the refrigerant gas used for repairs in our port terminal containers and thus minimize the impact of our carbon footprint.
Continue measuring our carbon footprint and defining and monitoring the plan to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations. We will try to be carbón neutral in 2022.
