In ALFA, actions for the conservation of the environment are part of the business strategy. The company allocates significant resources to reduce the impact of its operations in the environment, including the responsible use of natural resources, reduction, reuse, and recycling of inputs, as well as promoting environmental awareness within and outside its facilities.
Energy
The energy is an issue of great importance for ALFA, given the economic and ecological benefits it represents. Because of this, in 2006 it established a Department of Energy, an area fully dedicated to the development of programs to optimize energy consumption, including the design of more efficient equipment and the use of technologies that allow for a more efficient consumption of energy and/or the use of alternative sources.
Water
Water is another important input in ALFA's operations. For this reason, actions to reduce and optimize its use are of particular importance. All operations where this input is relevant have water treatment plants that allow reusing the fluid in the processes and its discharge according to standards set by environmental authorities.
Air Quality
In addition to investments in equipment and technology to eliminate or reduce the generation of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, ALFA's businesses drive initiatives such as energy efficiency programs that result in better control and lower emissions of gases.
Recycling
Because of the benefits of recycling, this is a permanent activity in ALFA, as it helps to conserve natural resources, and decrease the use of energy and harmful emissions into the atmosphere. ALFA mainly recycles aluminum, plastics, paper, steel and wood.
Wildlife
ALFA's companies participate in the protection, recovery and improvement of the natural habitat of various species of flora and fauna. This includes the conservation of nature reserves, both own and third parties, especially those surrounding their facilities.
