ESG Policy Regenerative management
In 2023, our commitment to sustainability has deepened as we engage with our entire value chain to reduce our carbon footprint and address the challenge of microplastics. We have joined international initiatives such as the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, and we are actively assessing our plants in terms of macro and microplastics.
Our strategy continues to prioritise economic and financial sustainability while applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria and indicators to assess our performance. These indicators are featured throughout this report.
We have developed action plans aimed at fostering good environmental practices crucial to our transition towards becoming a regenerative company.
• Implementation of a certified environmental management system according to ISO 14001 in all our factories for the first time. • Safety and Health certification according to ISO 45001:2018 at Evertis Ibérica and Evertis México. • Calculation and management of our carbon footprint, encompassing scopes 1, 2, and 3. • Advancement of energy self-sufficiency and long- term self-consumption through exclusively renewable energies. The first phase of our solar park, initiated in November 2022, is projected to supply 25% of the electricity used by our industrial site in Portalegre by 2024. • Calculation and management of the environmental footprint of our products through Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) .
• Management of water consumption and the formulation of plans to reduce water intensity. • Collaboration with stakeholders to contribute to ecosystem regeneration, including environmental organisations and local communities. • Contribution to circularity by incorporating recycled material into our products and collaborating with stakeholders such as suppliers and industry associations to promote and increase recycling. • Additionally, in collaboration and dialogue with our internal and external stakeholders, we are actively addressing topics such as labour and social development, as well as implementing an ethical management system. This contributes directly to Sustainable Development Goal 16, fostering solid and transparent institutions.
Our social indicators continue to measure the success of actions targeted towards the people within our group, fostering their personal and professional development. Ambitious programs around education, social integration, domestic violence, and support for indigenous peoples in regions where we operate, such as Brazil and Mexico, underscore our commitment to social progress.
