GHG Emissions

In accordance with our commitment to combat climate change, we have taken actions to evaluate and improve our processes in order to reduce the emissions generated by our businesses.

-11% Total GHG emissions

_{i) Emissions of greenhouse gases and compounds were computed with the emission factor for electricity consumption from the national electricity system and the independent supplier 2018.

ii) A restatement of the information for 2018 was made, based on the GHG verification carried out by an accredited OV. The previously published data was Consumer sector scope 1= 37,397 tco₂e, Consumer sector scope 2= 67,743 tco₂e, Chemical sector scope 1= 67,856 tco₂e and Chemical sector scope 2= 111,904 tco₂e.

iii) For the Consumer sector 2019, process emissions were not considered}

Conservation Area

In order to protect natural habitat of the region, we have 800 hectares for conservation, housing more than 100 animal and plant species, some of them within the nom-059-SEMARNAT. The project has a council in which universities, researchers and authorities collaborate in order to study and preserve the natural resources of wild flora and fauna, including threatened or endangered species.

+100 species of wild flora and fauna
