For nature
For over four decades, we’ve contributed to environmental conservation in Puerto Rico by promoting public policies for environmental protection.
Waste
In Uruguay, we support the donation of fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be discarded. Fit for consumption, these products are donated to those who need them most.
Water conservation efforts contribute to the environment
Billions of people worldwide lack access to water. We are committed to conserving this vital resource through conscious consumption and alternative access strategies.
Rainwater harvesting
We are studying the installation of structures to harvest rainwater for use in our cooling towers. Implementing this initiative will significantly reduce water consumption.

Reduction Efforts
Toxic substances contaminate soil in many ways. That’s why we’ve implemented a series of projects to reduce and prevent the infiltration of oil-based components into the ground. Learn more:
Oil
We recycle all petroleum-based products used in our facilities.
Oils
The oils are repurposed for the production of other oils by a specialized supplier for the retail sector.
Conversion
The oil we use is also converted into other byproducts, such as grease and lubricants.
This set of initiatives reflects our commitment to the communities where we operate, encouraging other sectors to contribute to environmental preservation as well.
