  • The implementation of an internal system of solid waste management for the collection and sorting for recycling and recovery in approved channels.

  • The continuous awareness and training of all employees to environmentally friendly practices.
  • Optimizing water and energy through a continuous improvement program.
  • The establishment of a system of prevention and response in case of emergency (fire, product spill, etc.).
