Sustainability Strategies

The functioning of the ESG plan is based on structured planning, which identifies issues material to our business, that is, issues that have a significant impact on the company and society as a whole. This approach enables us to continuously improve our environmental and social performance, with a positive impact on all sides: economic, environmental and social.
