A challenge for all of us
We believe that climate change is one of humanity’s greatest challenges.
The whole world is watching these rapid changes in climate and temperature characteristics.
And the alert increases every time storms become heavier and droughts become more frequent.
The solution comes from
energy
We know that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the most expected solution.
This reduction would consist of shifting from fossil fuels energy systems to renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind energy.
What we are doing
We are proud to be a 100% renewable matrix company. We are part of the change to a more
decarbonized world.
Therefore, in 2022, we decided to be Net Zero by 2040.
We have joined the “UN Global Compact’s Net Zero Ambition Program,” undertaking to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2040.
