Environmental issues have long formed part of our management system, through the adoption of an internal policy that includes environmental criteria such as developing processes and procedures that have a lower environmental impact, practising responsible consumption of natural resources and preventing pollution by reducing the use of hazardous products and the production of waste.
Environmental, Cultural and Corporate Social Responsibility
Inspired by Howard Ziin, we want to make our workers aware of the environmental problems and the impact that their actions have on the planet.
In this way, on the World Environment Day, we promoted an awareness campaign through which we offer our workers a pot with aromatic herbs seeds to draw the attention to the consumption of organic and more sustainable products.
In this sense, we have created a movement to share tips on how to reduce plastic consumption in the various environments we deal with in our daily lives: home, work, supermarket, and events. We emailed tips to people who signed up for our campaign page and encouraged sharing the photos on social media.
The energy produced is shared between our various companies through a Renewable Energy Community (REC). In fact, we were one of the first CERs in Portugal. In addition to contributing to the decarbonisation of the energy sector, RECs also provide a more secure energy supply for territories and less energy dependence for the country.
Therefore, throughout the week, we promoted some online actions, presented a set of good practices and offered a set of sustainable products and a book alluding to the theme, resulting from an internal giveaway that we promoted.
In 2018, the theme was “Prevention of Hazardous Waste - It's time to detoxify!”. We distribute oil containers for used cooking oils, boxes for storing batteries, homemade recipes to replace the use of certain chemicals.
