We have a Biodiversity Policy that includes criteria to manage the natural resources of the areas surrounding our operations and guide our actions towards a culture of prevention and conservation of the biological diversity of our headquarters at the national level.
It should be noted that our policy guarantees compliance with the requirements demanded at national and international level in the actions of reform and modernization of the units, in accordance with the demands of the market and society in general, in order to continue generating sustainable value.
