Our environmental footprint

We Preserve,
Reforest and
mitigate

Protecting our ecosystems is a fundamental pillar of our production chain. We protect, preserve, and make efficient use of our resources, thus guaranteeing the sustainability of our companies but also the sustainability of the communities and territories where we operate.

We take care of our ecosystems

We promote conservation, recovery, and enrichment of natural habitats.

We use nonconventional
energy

We are working on eco efficient processes, trying for the lowest energy use and at the lowest cost. We manage a strategy to risks and use the opportunities that arise from the availability of energy resources and their appropriate uses, and we use the opportunities derived from the availability and appropriate use of energy resources, and we promote the use of renewable energy.

Our challenges

  • Implement reforestation programs in water recharge, easements, and forest edges to offset the carbon footprint and climate change. Thus, in 2022 we will plant 20,000 of the 40,000 trees scheduled for the Caldas region.
  • Continue to increase mechanical weed control to reduce the use of agrichemicals.
  • Continue measuring our carbon footprint and defining and monitoring the plan to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations. We will try to be carbon neutral in 2022.
