At Aconcagua Foods, it is crucial for us to stay current and continue to be leaders in the agro-industry by producing long-life foods based on fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Therefore, given the environmental and energy context, we have had to rethink our processes from a sustainable perspective, leading us to adopt a series of deep and long-term commitments that demonstrate our motivation to promote a healthier and more sustainable life.
As a multinational company, our efforts will be directed towards environmental protection by promoting alternatives to optimize energy and water consumption and making our production processes more efficient. We will promote a circular operation by utilizing our biodegradable waste, as well as recycling our liquid and solid waste; all actions aimed at ensuring the continuous improvement of the Integrated Management System.
Additionally, we will enhance a proactive environmental culture, involving our employees, consumers, clients, and suppliers in respecting the environment.
This management is committed to providing the necessary information and resources to achieve the objectives and goals of the Integrated Environmental and Energy Management System.
