Sustainability
For Acesur, the concept of productive efficiency includes that it be sustainable. We have imposed ourselves as an obligation to reduce emissions; gain energy self-sufficiency by increasing the weight of renewables; use biomass as fuel, the recovery of by-products, consolidating a circular economy process; wastewater treatment and reuse; have local suppliers or produce containers and auxiliary materials that are recyclable or directly made with recycled materials. In every step we take, we want not to harm our planet and that future generations have a better place to live.
At Acesur, we apply a Comprehensive Management System (Quality, Environment and Occupational Health and Safety), since it is such an important field that it is treated in a transversal way, with respect for the environment also being one of the points of the Code of Ethics of the company. The Comprehensive Management System is aimed at meeting all the applicable requirements of the ISO Standards, with ISO 14001:2015 being the one applied in the environmental field.
