Environmental performance 
 

Historical figures on the environmental performance of the Group and its subsidiaries are presented below. It is important to point out that when we refer to “regular consumption” or “regular generation,” we are referring to the generation or consumption of resources resulting from activities inherent to the core of the business, whereas “occasional or project-related” generation or consumption stems primarily from construction activities or occasional events, such as emergencies or contingencies. “Total” encompasses  both of the aforementioned categories.
 

Regular water consumption (m3)

Regular water consumption includes consumption for core business activities, meaning that it does not include water consumption derived from construction projects or emergency events.
 

Regular waste generation (Tons)

Regular generation includes waste generation from core business activities, meaning that generation from construction projects or emergency events is not included.
