Commitment to biodiversity

Commitment to biodiversity:

We are committed to biodiversity through guidelines management oriented prevention and reduction of our environmental footprints,
conservation and restoration of ecosystems where we we place.

Our commitment is based on the following management guidelines with goals for the year 2030:

Natural and Cultural Resources:

100% of quarry units have biodiversity monitoring programs and conservation plans.

Environmental quality:

100% of effluent treated
100% of waste recycled

Environmental certification:

100% of operations certified in accordance with the Integrated Management System (IMS)

Strengthening capabilities:

Diffusion of 100% of stakeholder-relevant activities

We are installing modern particle capture systems such as electro-filters and sleeve filters, which capture 99.9% of dust.

We use more than thirty environmental instruments, including environmental impact surveys, quarry closure plans, environmental impact declarations and preliminary environmental diagnoses, among others.

We promote environmental education among our collaborators, contractors and the community on the correct use of natural resources, solid waste management and global warming, among others.

We have also developed a course-workshop on environmental management, aimed at state employees.
