Solutions that benefit your company and the environment

A very important consideration in any company that wants to be more sustainable is being able to rely on the commitment of its leaders. In order to transform the corporate culture, top management has to get involved and demonstrate, through its words and actions, the importance of adopting strategies that improve the company's social and environmental impact. 

Businesses can take actions aimed at saving energy, recycling waste, using renewable energy and designing environmentally friendly products and services.

Employees can be encouraged to volunteer in activities that help them become ambassadors for charitable causes with a focus on sustainability.

Finally, once a corporate culture is in place in which sustainability is a core component, it will be very important to measure the impact of all the actions that are taken.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were defined by the world's leaders in 2015 in an effort to protect the planet, combat poverty and build a more prosperous, fair and sustainable world for future generations. These objectives were set in the 2030 Agenda on sustainable development and include efforts to advance clean energy, decent employment and economic growth; responsible consumption and production; action against climate change as well as goals targeted at industry, innovation and infrastructure.

The carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that reflects all the greenhouse gases directly or indirectly emitted by an individual, an organization, an event or a product, and allows us to reflect on those areas where we need to act to reduce emissions. To calculate it, you have to multiply the consumption (activity) by its corresponding emission factor based on the type of fuel or gas used, as detailed in the Spanish Government's National Inventory of Greenhouse Gases.

Trees are essential to the development of life and to keeping the planet healthy. To combat deforestation, we must avoid the indiscriminate cutting of trees, control fires and floods as much as possible and fight to reduce the level of pollution in the atmosphere and in ecosystems. They also have to promote activities to restore and preserve the environment.
