CARING FOR OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES
Through the Integrated Management
System (IMS) and the operating pro-
cesses, activities are identified that
may have a significant impact on the
environment and the risk of these
activities is assessed. Based on these
evaluations, a series of measures are
carried out aimed at safeguarding the
key attributes of the environment
DID YOU KNOW?
Around 25% of
the area is still not
directly affected by
forest or agricultural
activities
and ensuring maximum productivity
and efficiency of operations.
The environmental requirements
derived from legal regulations are
also incorporated.
If necessary, mitigation and com-
pensation measures are applied
when accidents occur.
These environmental safeguards
are reflected in the company’s Work-
ing Standards as well as in the Op-
erational Best Practices Recommen-
dations and Booklets, which are up-
dated on an ongoing basis. There are
booklets for working the soil, the ap-
plication of agrochemicals and weed
control and road construction, among
other things.
The activities with the greatest risk
of environmental impact are carried
out following micro-planning that
considers the various factors involved
in the operation (harvest micro-plan-
ning, for example).
