We create sustainable value through conscious, responsible production and the continuous improvement of our processes.
We are aware of the importance of our activity for the economic growth and social well-being of the geographies where we operate, while recognizing the impacts that this activity generates on the natural capital.
Therefore, through the implementation of our Environmental Management System, we seek continuous improvement that generates sustainable value for the Company, our value chain and other Stakeholders, by offering products and services with high standards that contribute to the solution of environmental problems.
In the coming years, we will be the actors of a profound transformation of the construction industry, which will allow us to offer our clients
a portfolio of innovative products and solutions with sustainability characteristics. To achieve this goal, we will be the best partners to our
clients in the construction of sustainable housing and infrastructure.
We approach climate change in an innovative manner as a challenge and an opportunity to our direct operations and their value chain.
Our goal is to reduce our net specific emissions to 523 kg CO2 /t of cementitious material.
We are committed to reducing emissions through actions that achieve the efficiency of our processes, thereby contributing to good air quality in the places where we operate. For this reason, we focus on the measurement, control and reduction of point sources and disperses of particulate matter emissions (dust), as well as emissions of sulfur oxides (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
We are committed to responsibly using vital services, such as water and biodiversity, which are necessary to society, ecosystems, our operations and the value chain. This, by identifying and managing risks and significant impacts and taking advantage of opportunities
in the territories where we are present.
We contribute to the closing of life cycles of resources by harnessing waste or by-products from other industries, such as raw materials or
alternative-fuels, providing a sustainable solution to the problem of their disposal. Likewise, we focus on the prevention, reduction, reuse, and recycling of our waste. To this end, we establish collaborative links with authorities, companies, and communities.
En los próximos años seremos los actores de una profunda transformación de la industria de la construcción la cual nos permitirá ofrecerle a nuestros clientes un portafolio de productos y soluciones innovadoras y con características de sostenibilidad. Para lograr este objetivo, seremos los mejores aliados de nuestros clientes en la construcción de vivienda e infraestructura sostenible.
