As the Company recognizes the importance of sustainable business operations, with consideration for environmental and social impacts, the effective management of resources and waste is part of its good corporate governance and is in alignment with international criteria, such as FTSE and GRI. This "Policy on Resource and Waste Management" is established to provide guidelines and govern practices related to resource consumption, and the management of waste and pollution arising from the Company's business operations. Its objective is to ensure that personnel within the organization understand and can correctly, transparently, and verifiably implement practices concerning the selection of resources, refuse, waste, and water. This policy is divided into five sub-policies:
- Management of Input Materials (GRI 301): Requires the identification of significant materials, the use of reused materials (recycled or recyclable), and the setting of targets to reduce the consumption of virgin raw materials.
- Management of Refuse and Waste (GRI 306): Requires data collection on the quantity of refuse and waste, the setting of targets to reduce waste generation, and the establishment of methods for refuse and waste management.
- Management of Pollution (GRI 305): Requires data collection on the quantity of pollution generated, the setting of targets to reduce pollution, and the establishment of methods for pollution management.
- Water Management (GRI 303): Requires data collection and reporting on water consumption, the establishment of guidelines to reduce water use, and the creation of a water management plan.
- Supporting Policy on the Management of Materials, Waste, and Water: Requires the assessment of financial figures related to the impacts of resource consumption, waste, and pollution, as well as the support for research and development to mitigate such impacts.
The implementation of this policy will enable the Company to manage resources effectively, reduce environmental impacts, and create long-term sustainability for its business operations.
