Sustainability report
Through this document, we transparently express our far-reaching and unwavering commitment to the sustainability of our business, which we have projected for the coming years in our Sustainability Plan, which includes a series of environmental, social and productive goals and commitments.
We have issued reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) principles for the past 12 years, and we meet the requirements of the Global Compact 2020 Communication of Progress (COP).
